The painful thread
In this thread we discuss what's currently ailing us.
I popped my knee or something tonight at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. This guy just basically grabbed me and took me down to the ground while I had one of my legs straightened. There was a popping sound as I went down yelling. I was able to get up and walk on it, though not 100%. I've got an ice pack on it right now. Doesn't feel very good...

I duno if this is an inside joke, but it made me laugh out loud for real.
Today the front of my right knee felt like someone kept poking dull needles into it, and the back of my left knee felt like someone was stabbing it. Ironically enough, I was working my clerical job at a radiology clinic. It'd be cool if I could get it xrayed or MRId for free!
Centaur--- is what you had kinda the same as an inflamed patella and MCL? That's apparently what happened to me when I sprained it a few months ago and it's been hurting so bad lately and if it even bends slightly background it feels like something is tearing. I think there's something else wrong with it because the patella feels WAY different than my right patella.

Upper and lower back pain since yesterday. I only get relief when laying flat on my back.

No, actually I think I had a unique problem, nothing my doctors had ever seen their entire careers. I had a severe lateral patella tilt which means that my patella didn't track properly and leaned severely to the outside of my leg. I was in physical therapy for a different problem, but I started getting shooting pains at the back of my leg, on the very inside just above my knee. That patellar tilt had caused all my hamstring tendons to go into permanent spasm. I can't even go into how painful that was. Think of having pain at a 10 every single day, and you can't sit, stand, lie down, put any pressure on the back of your leg for any length of time.
For you, I'd go see an orthopedist. Does your knee feel unstable, ever give out, lock up? It might be an ACL or meniscal problem. I've also had problems with my MCL but I think those were all entirely related to the fact that my entire knee structure sucked to begin with. Sorry for the long answer. I'm a medical nerd :P

Try some heat. Sometimes pain could actualyl get worse with ice and better with heat, a ltitle trick that I learnt in PT.

Yikes! A popping sound in ones knee is never a good thing. I hope you feel better soon. And get ye to a doctor; knees aren't something to mess around with!
You know, you should have stuck your finger in that guy's eye.

That's a classic sign of a torn meniscus. Get thee to an orthopedist today. You're going to need an MRI. Hopefully, your ACL is OK.
I can relate-- I popped my knee a number of times in judo.. and have had knee surgery three times.

Right now...my left foot and big toe nail. I did my first Half-Ironman distance triathlon this weekend and it was a bit rough. Did go out and run today though...I was supposed to take a week off but I was getting bored and cranky.

What isn't?
Though I've been doing a lot better lately. Knee's doing pretty good and back's not as bad as it was.
(Had knee surgery (lateral release) in April after a year and a half of excruciating pain and I have a herniated disk in my lower back).
Vicodin is a friend!

My sinuses and ears are about to explode and my throat is scratchy. I hate my fall allergies.
