    YES! especially if it's already hap pend again. i've been through this, and u at least pull the ligaments out and u need to rest and brace it. they put me into physical therapy to see if that could help keep the joint into place. make sure u ice ur knee, this will help with the pain some...ice for 30 min. every few hours, or sooner if needed. it can turn into a worse problem if u don't go...the patella (kneecap) could even pop out when the knee goes!

    take care!!!1

    If something hurts then something is wrong. Ask your physical education teacher, if you have one. Otherwise, go see a Doctor. A sports injury therapist specializes in that part of the body. Go go go see a doctor.

    I think you should go see a doctor. If it happens again in a while I think you got a problem there.

  • Definitely see a doc. You want to avoid moving too much on that leg until you do, to prevent any further injury.

    You could have injured your ligaments, you need to see a doc.
