My knee literally came out and in!?

Question:

Okay, so this is going to sound stupid, but I was doing an elvis dance, and my knee went out and then I moved my leg and it went right back in. It wasn't in pain for a while, but now, when I put pressure on it, there is slight pain. I don't know whether or not I should go to a doctor or a chiropractor. It is definitely not my knee cap, but rather on the left side of my right knee. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Answers:
I always answer people' knee questions on here as I just had my 13th surgery in March so I am a seasoned knee injury veteran. And I will tell you what I tell everyone else. See an orthopedic (bone and joint) doctor. He/she will discuss your symptoms with you and take xrays and an mri scan. The xrays will probably show nothing, but the mri will give you your answers. The knee is a very complicated joint with 4 main ligaments and tons of cartilage including the meniscus. People on YouQA.com will give you their best guess and say "I had the same thing!" but you will never know without getting images of your knee taken. I am very knowledgeable on the subject, but I wouldn't begin to tell you what is going on without looking at images of your knee. So please, see a doctor and get it checked out.the earlier the better.you do not want to be like me and have 13 surgeries and huge scars...trust me. Good luck to you.

It is likely you tore a ligament in your knee. Try to take it easy and go directly to a doctor to get it looked at

Awesome! Thats so cool.. and go Elvis!
