Answer 1

My knee popped on its own several times when I came to a hard stop. While playing indoor soccer. When I tryed to get up it just wobbled and was not stable. I was in so much pain the next day to where I could not move it not even an inch.. But it didnt get swollen till the next night..I was in moble for about two weeks.. I can walk on it fine but I have pain in the back portion.. The side feels real tight.. And sometimes in the knee cap.. And times it just stiffens up and I can't move it because it hurts..some of the swelling is till there but not much.. Will I ever recuperate?

It could be what I have which is patella femoral syndrome.

If your daughter has had knee pain for a month then I think it is time she had it examined by a doctor or physiotherapist. They will refer her for xrays or ultrasound scans if appropriate.
