I have this knee pain that I am concerned about?

Question

Ok, I have been going to sports camp for 2 weeks and it ended 4 days ago, now my right knee hurts when i walk DOWN, like downstairs or down hill and it also hurts a bit when i go up, it cracks a lot , and hurts like kind of like in the middleish part/under my kneecap, maybe lower when i straighten my leg.i told my mom and she said that i hurt it and it will get better, she bought me an elastic knee supporter. It doesn't hurt to walk normally but like i said downhill and downstairs and a bit up hill-up stairs, this has been hurting for about 2-3 days after camp had ended. What should i do ? what might i have? and also it doesn't hurt all the time wen i straighten my leg..Will i have to wear my knee supporter when I'm better for physical activity?

thanks. I am also 13 years old, just to let you know..mabye that has something to do with it?

Answer 1

iam no doc but i have knee problems myself it sounds like you might have brused a tendent under you knee cap you should try to rest it for a while you might want to see a sport med doc to look at it because this could lead to worse things and more injurys if not looked at  

Answer 2

You probably bumped your knee at the sports camp or injured it during your sporting activities.

Probably the best thing to do is to avoid any activity that is likely to put undue strain or pressure on your knee such as jumping, running and cycling.

In most cases these problems take care of themselves and you recover without any special treatment.  The pain gets less every day and you get better within a week or so.
