While racing this weekend, I was clipped in mid-air by the rider in front of me. While the fall wasn't that bad since it was a small jump, the rider directly behind me ran over my knee. Happened very quick, I can't blame the flaggers, they were some of the best I've seen. Anyways, I immediately limped off the track, because I didnt want to get run over again. I looked at my knee, and it was pretty cut up, and a bit swollen. My P.O.S. Thor knee guard was cracked at the top.
Well, it swelled up a lot over night. I have been icing it all day, didn't go to school. It hurts a little while laying down, but is very, very painful when bent or straightened. Putting weight on it hurts a little bit too. The swelling is on the top, and outside of the knee. I am hoping that it's just a bad bruise. Could anyone provide any info on this? Should I see a doctor about it? I just want to double check to see if anyone thinks it is broken or torn.
Thanks,
Matt
