Knee pain

I've been experiencing knee pain for about a month or even longer in both of my knees. I repeatedly crashed and landed on my knees (mountain biking) awhile back. I had knee pads on and everything seemed fine but now my knees hurt if i go riding again, or if I drive for 2+ hours my knees (specifically my right) start to really fucking hurt. Some nights I can't sleep due to the pain i have. What do i do? My doctor is 4+ hours away when i'm in college. What do i do? Any exercises i can do or should i just not do anything for awhile?

Dr. NS here,

It seems that you were wearing protective gear so there is much doubt that you broke a bone. There is a large change that you tore one of your tendons. More than likely its just a partial tear that should heal. The thing is, you need to make sure it heals properly. Doing nothing is not the right choice. Some ice, some stretches, something, something. Trust me. I am a doctor.

Go home and get it checked out. Or just find a clinic near your college.

One of my biggest regrets is being a stubborn idiot about getting medical stuff checked out. Some minor issues turned into nerve damage, improperly healed tears and pain in my day to day life. Not dealing with it causes a waterfall effect. Its worth the inconvenience- go see a doctor

Ok thanks, i will head to my schools local clinic and see whats the issue. I thought it'd go away after a week but now i'm scared that it will be lasting damage.

Soft tissue damage.
I would guess you have a level 1 tear on one of your ligaments. The repeated use will cause swelling. The swelling pushes the knee out of alignment. Tendonitis will set in if you dont treat it.
My second guess is meniscus tear.
Get it checked out when you can. Even a small tear can compound into a partial and full tear when you least expect it.

Bruh you were 100% correct. I have Patellar Tendonitis and my knee might be slightly misaligned. I got prescribed an anti-inflammatory for 10 days and i was given exercises to complete but I should be good to go for the start of ski season!
