Between two intramural football games and one intramural ultimate frisbee game, I've fallen on my left knee 4 times in 2 weeks. (I have to say that I made the catch every time, but that's beside the point.) The first time I came down on it, it was swollen for most of a week. I iced it, elevated it, babied it, etc. It felt (and looked better), so I went out and played on it again. Tuesday night I fell on it again. As I jogged on it immediately afterward, my knee cap felt like it was bouncing up and down (that sucks!). I got a little scared, so I went to see my doctor on Wednesday.
He asked a bunch of questions, looked at my knee, moved it around, and finally took 4 x-rays of it. Everything looks fine, but he thinks I may have stretched some ligaments or something. He recommended I give it until Monday before I really get out and do anything. So that means training is postponed for a few days. I'll pick it back up on Monday. That kind of bums me out because I was really excited about this. But, I'm glad there's nothing seriously wrong with my knee.
Here's a picture. This isn't my knee, but my x-ray looked just liked this.
