Knee popped at bjj!?

[Simpleman]

My knee popped three times at bjj last night. I was in top position half guard. Guy had my leg in a kind of straight legged figure four. I was a little bit painful from just the straight leg but I had an Americana and thought he would tap. All of a sudden my knee just popped three times. I walked out after class was over but it feels really weak this morning and painful. Is it fucked? Doctor visit? What say you?

Time for a visit to the doctor. It is not possible to get any sort of idea what might be going on with your knee without being able to do an exam. Hope it checks out ok

You should be ok. Put some Tussin' on it. A visit to the doc can't hurt either. It's probably a slight tear. I did the same thing in November. Took a couple weeks off, then class with no sparring for about a month, then SUPER light rolling for another month. Now I'm back to normal. Next time, when you feel pain just tap, try to figure out why you were in a bad position, & start over. One sub isn't worth the time you'll miss.

Thanks. Trying to see a sports doc today. The guy was sandbagging (20 years judo), wore a white belt and I took him too light and paid for it. No hard feelings because I don't think it was on purpose. Already had to take a day off work. Don't let anyone lie to you: Getting older blows!
