How can i tell if i broken my knee?


Question:
i bent it backwards today, and despite asking to go to the hospital people seemed to think it would be fine. it doesnt hurt so much that i cant walk on it, however whenever i lift it, to say climb the stairs...i get an agonising shooting pain. it is also very swollen. i know knee's are tricky so was wondering if anybody else thinks im over reacting?!!

Answers:
NO, you're not overreacting. It's probably not broken but you could've sprained it badly, caused some damage to tendons or ligaments. You should get it checked out, better to be safe.
you should go get it xrayed
you twist it around
