Was helping a friend gut his basement yesterday, and as we were carrying something up a slippery flight of stairs, I slipped and my right knee buckled underneath me. I felt/heard a popping and my body had shock symptoms right away (nausea, lightheadedness).
Of course being an endurance athlete where my legs are my livelihood I immediately freaked out. Iced it right away and it swelled up quite nicely but the good thing is I can walk on it fine. The problem today seems to be it feels very weak and certain positions feel quite painful - any pressure kneeling or rotating is quite bad.
Knowing what I know, it has the symptoms of an ACL problem, but I can still walk and move okay - think it could be a mild strain or tear? Any good resources out there that anyone knows about?
I'm a little upset because my running season may be in jeopardy.
