Can anyone tell me what this might be or what i can do to help it?

Answers:
You probably got a torn meniscus (disc between the knee joint) and ligament tear. probably ACL or MCL tear. Go see an orthopedic doctor. delaying the consultation will just make your knee worse because of imbalance on loading of weight, which causes degenerative process or osteoarthritis.

you probly broke, sprained, dislocated, or fractured it. see an orthopedist ASAP!

haha dislocation? dude for everyones sake, go to a doctor

go to an orthopedic surgeon and possibly a physical therapist.
get it fixed before you damage it worse. you'll regret it as you get older if you don't.

You might have torn a ligament. Call your family doctor's office right away for an appointment. They will likely take an xray and depending on the results, refer you to an orthopaedic. In the mean time, keep off that leg and elevate it. Use an ice pack on the swollen area. Good luck - hope you feel better soon!

You really should go see a orthopedist immediately. The pop could be anything from a dislocated knee to a torn ligament. If you have torn a ligament, you will probably have to have surgery to repair it and average recovery time is about 6 weeks. Injury to the knee is not something to fool around with at all. You could actually do more damage in the long run if you don't go and get it checked out.

I would say that you dislocated your patella and possibly sprained your ankle. Best to go to a doctor and get x rays...

I responded to your other question, but after reading this one...you should really go get x-rays. Chiropractors are cheaper.

Possible broken bone or ligament tear, would be my guess, especially because of the pop you heard, swelling, it killing you to move it, could not walk for 2 days, etc. etc.

If either are the case, you are risking the injury healing in a malformed way.
