Question:
ive been doing Brazilan Jiu Jitsu for a week and yesterday i notcied when we were grappling that my left knee felt bruised right under the knee cap. i think its from being on my knees alot and its not used to it. but it feels like a bruise to the touch and hurts when i kneel down on it. does anyone know if this is ok, and will go away in a few days or what? any tips on how to have it not hurt? it doesnt hurt when i run or anything just when i get down to my knees i can feel it like a bruise. i wasnt put in a submission or anything it just came out of nowhere just felt likea bruise. there is no swelling or anything just hurts to touch it below the knee cap.
Answers:
give it some time you might wanna take it easy though just incase also check your knees flexibity and take some ib profin its a anti inflamiatory and might help out your knee. other than that just stay off it for a couple days and maybe wear a knee pad to class i doubt your instructor would mind it.
Major knee problems can start out as something minor as you desrcibed. Speaking as someone who has gone through knee surgery, and almost a year of physical thearpy, I would stop the Jiu Jitsu. Wrap your knee in an ace bandage and take it easy for a few days. Ibuprofen and a heating pad should help the pain. Hope this helps!
