Dont know what to do (knee popping)

by Jordan
(Forest City, NC )

Back in Januray I was in the gym bench pressing and my knee moved and popped and really hurt. Then baseball season started and every time i would run it would give out, pop, and hurt and swell a little bit. I has done it about 10 times. I can't get an MRI cause i have plate in my knee. My plate comes out in about 3 weeks, what should i do?

Thanks for the help.

Rest and wait...

If you are having pain, swelling, and popping in the knee, the best thing to do is to rest and avoid activities that make your knee feel worse. Once your plate is removed, then you can have the MRI or other tests to determine what is causing your knee to pop and be painful and swollen.

So, rest for the next few weeks and take it easy. And talk to your doctor if you have questions - they can give you the best advice on what to do to make things better.
