Knee, Torn cartilage?
I injured my knee while i was working at an outdoor school, and i landed on it funny after jumping around. I think it kinda twised, but i dident fall or anything. Anyways the doctors thought it was a sprain, but when the swelling went down, they said I probly tore some cartilage in my knee. ANd now i'm waiting to see an Orthopeidic surgion, to get an actual diagnosis. And i'm wondering if i should start trying to walk on it or excercise it. It only hurts when i straiten it or bear weight on it (i'm on crutches). Just wondering if you could give me any pointers on fast recovery or what you think i might have done to my knee. thanks

Pro-Tec Athletics' J-Lat Knee Support helps guide the patella back into proper alignment with gentle pressure from the lateral to medial direction. Compression surrounding the patella will help keep it in the patella-femoral groove.
