Monday I was working making concrete test cylinders. I had a wheelbarrow will probably about 130lbs of concrete in it. Well, as I was moving it, the wheel got stuck in the sand and the whole thing started to pivot; I tried to keep it upright with no luck, and my left leg locked, jammed into the ground and buckled, leaving my on my back with my leg bent backwards underneath me and a big pile on concrete on the ground. Everyday since my left knee has been hurting and making it difficult to go up and down all the stairs at school. Now my ankle, shin and thigh have started hurting, even when I'm resting. I know my gait is a little off, but I can't imagine that's the only thing making my leg hurt.

Sounds like you have sprained something, hopefully not worse. I think you know the advice you are going to get is that you should visit a doctor. Possibly get and X-ray to see that nothing is severely hurt.
Good luck and I hope the pain eases up soon.

Today I was on my feet all afternoon. Really didn't help things. Now if I unbend my knee too far it'll pop loudly.
I was already planning to go to the doctor; I just didn't have any time this week because of classes ending. I should have an easier time not making it worse now. |

The popping is a symptom of something having been injured, torn, out of place, etc.
I'm glad you will be seeing your doctor. It's important to know what is going on to prevent further injury. |

Fortunately, the pain is pretty minimal now, since I've been able to stay off my feet. Unfortunately, I can tell that the front pad slipped a little, and the earliest appointment I could get is next Tuesday.

Knee brace has really helped, especially since I've had to go so many places this past week. Just a couple more days...

Take care of yourself. I hope it isn't anything too bad. Sprains are really painful as it is.

It's not too bad, but I'm pretty convinced that I have a tear in my meniscus. I'll just have to wait and see.

Well, the Dr. said a knee should heal in 6 weeks, so if my knee hurts for next 4 weeks they'll do an MRI. How helpful.

Drat, now you have to wait longer. Hope it doesn't hurt too much. Remember to look after you knee!
