    After falling and giving you knee a week to heal. When should u get it checked?
    Went on tubing trip. Fell off my float and hit my knee, went to stand up fell again same knee. It has been a week since this happened. It hurts if u touch it when u roll over. I stand for 8 hours at work, after that it has sharp pains shutting through it. Should I get it Checked out?

    I would. No one can diagnose what's wrong until a medical professional sees it and possibly orders x-rays, or something else.

    You have to be kidding me, right ? After an injury like that you didn't get a check up, and if you need those legs for your work, then WHY NOT get it checked out at the hospital, your doctor, anyone who can diagnose an injury as serious as this.

    Why are you here asking... get it DONE!

    You should have gotten it checked out a week ago. When you leave an injury with out proper medical intervention it will heal the way it is which may not may not be the proper way to heal. Waiting could cause a simple injury to turn very serious.

    So go get it checked out.
