im really mad because all the sudden l was just standing and then l moved and it hurt right under my knee cap for no reason! l started walking and it felt like someone was jabbing something into my knee. it only hurts if l do something in particular or if l run. im 12, and im a girl. my mom said to ice it but its not doing anything!!! ( happened like 1 hour ago!!) any way to make it feel better!?! or know what it is? and dont say l have to go to the doc. cuz l know l do so plz dont say that! only answer if u know what it is really! or think you know. thanks so much!!!

Do not panic, l think ur knee will be just fine. There is one thing that would randomly make ur knee all of a sudden feel like someone is jabbing ur knee from inside ur kneecap. You r growing. You're body does not just go to sleep & wake up bigger, you're cells r multiplying in a way u dont quite understand yet. You will though.

Just stay off ur leg for now, & do not do any of the things that make it hurt, just relax it & the pain should go away. If it does not go away in two nights, talk to ur parents, they will know what to do.

l remember my three daughters going through this too. l massaged the knee cap and wiggled it around using lotion or some Ben Gay. l think it is part of growing too. You probably turned a funny way and it caused something to tighten up. Things like knees do not just get injured without a trauma unless you have a disease, which l do not think you have. Make sure you bend your knee from time to time, stay off of it. Try ice, then warm, then ice, etc.
