Skiing today and did exactly what you shouldn't do when falling. Landed backseat, planted one leg, twisted it and felt a pop. 8 hours later, no swelling, just pretty bad pain when walking and such. No real pain when sitting down, maybe a slight ache once in awhile. There are two bumps about a 1/2 inch apart right below my knee cap that hurt if you push on them. Going to make an appointment because I really don't feel like sitting in urgent care for half a day. Doubtful, but does anyone know what it might be?
Update -
I have Kaiser for insurance. I don't know if any of you have dealt with them. I went to an orthopedist today and he said he can't say for certain what is wrong, but to wait 3-4 weeks and if it doesn't get better, then he'll schedule an MRI. He thinks its a sprain, but again not 100% certain. Should I get a second opinion from a different doctor, or just wait like he said. I just know a lot of you said you've had tears and your doctors were wrong when saying nothing was wrong. Also don't want to waste 4 weeks if there is actually something wrong. Maybe I'm just stubborn and impatient, but I'd just like some insight from those of you that have tore things.
