well not broken but last nite I did some damage and reaggrivated an old war injury. Its all swollen and any time I put pressure on it it gives out so I am icing it and keeping it elevated. Any other suggestions? And don’t say Dr. because I dont trust them. And I am on my 8th advil of the day so far but it only makes me feel like it doesnt hur then I forget it doesnt bend and I cant walk… :spunk: ---

You don’t trust doctors, but will trust the advice of a car forum on your injured knee. Good plan. 🙂 My advise, buy a set of crutches because after the CAI/fartcan crowd gets done working on your knee you’re going to need them.

If advil isn’t working try other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. If that doesn’t work either, go to a Dr. ---

Read above…I just know alot of you guys play sports and I am sure have dealt with sprains and twists so I thought it was a fair question. I am not asking for anyone with a steak knife and some pliers to perform knee replacement surgery so… yeah! ---

Well I guess you could say I know a thing or two about knee injuries. I had broken pieces of cartilege surgically removed in March 1997, then May 1997, then May 1998. Now my knee makes this cool grinding noise when I bend it. Fucking soccer. :headbang: Is the swelling squishy? Like if you poke one side does the other side poke out? ---

I recently tore/sprained the crap out of my knee…icing helped a bit, but what really helped me was heat. I think I had some fluid built up in my knee and opening the vessels with some heat really relieved pain and pressure… ---

you prolly don’t wear your seatbelt b/c you know, in like .04% of accidents, it could hurt you. So it obv doesn’t make sense whatsoever to wear one. ---

I was going to have Lafengas make a CF kneecap, then head over to Hybrid to see if they could fab up a turbo pipe to fit to your anus. Want more boost? Eat more beans.

actually I buckle up everytime I get in the car thank you very much. Thanks for the positive contributors…Should I ice then heat then ice? Or just switch to a heat only? Squishy all around the cap top and bottom but more tender squishy then mobile squishy ---

> **[Knee Pain](https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/default.htm)** > > Find answers to commonly asked questions about knee problems, injuries, including diseases, and conditions which can cause pain, and how knee pain treated. Start reading there for a start. There is no “do this and it will feel better”. You (or better yet a doctor) need to determine what is causing the pain. Fluid buildup, tear, cartilidge issue, previous injury etc etc. Then you can better deterimine a treatment. Or, since this is a car forum, it’s like me saying my car is running rough. Just because new plugs fixed OfficerK’s car doesn’t mean it will fix mine. I might have a fuel issue. ---
