I was at a rehearsal for a musical im in and we were dancing. As I went down into a kneeling position my knee got a very weird tingling and slightly tight feeling and gave out. I almost fell on the ground and was kinda of afraid to even keep dancing. Luckily we only went through the dance 1 more time and the feeling was very minimal during it. As soon as I got to my car I told my dad and honestly he didnt seem every concerned. After an hour or two the weird feeling mostly went away and I went out somewhere with my family. When I got home and got ready to go to bed though I got the worse knee and lower leg deep pain. It lasted for so long and so I went and took an advil layed in bed for a little bit before it got to the point where it was atleast bearable to fall asleep. I was thinking that might have been from the dancing I had done as whenever I exercise both my legs hurt for a bit, but this time it was only the left one that I had done something weird to earlier. This morning I woke up and when I bend my knee all the way it hurts and when I walk I get a weird feeling thats hard to describe and I dont know how accurate this is but almost a heavy and tight feeling. I dont enjoy putting my full weight on it because it just feels strange. Does anyone have any idea what happened to me or if I should even been concernced?

    No one can tell you if something is very wrong except for an orthopedic surgeon...and then only after doing all the imaging.  Before you do that, try a 1 week course of ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory and stay off the knee.  Get a compression sleeve or wrap it.  If you do that religiously and it's still not better, see an ortho; a GP cannot diagnose this.

    My suggestion would be , To definitely have it checked out , sounds like you had some kind of mishap, you don’t want to injure the knees any further, as this could cause greater problems later on down the road.Better to be Safe, than Sorry 😐
