Dallas's knee injury.

In November 2008, I injured my knee playing basketball. I planted my foot to change directions while running up the court and as i did the opposing player swiped at the ball and hit my knee instead. I went to the doctor and and they said that it wasn't anything to serious but it been several months now and despite working it out I can't jump off it without it almost giving way. Has a similar injury happened to someone and what did you do to fix it?

giving way

Feelings of giving away in the knee often point towards some type of instability - ACL, PCL, etc. I would recommend talking with your doctor and having more diagnostics, like an MRI, to find out if there is any ligament damage that wasn't found the first time around.

Rehabilitation for stability may also help.
