Did I sprain my knee?
I quickly jogged across a street from one corner to the other. During that few seconds a small popping sensation came from my right knee. It felt uncomfortable for a few minutes, but I was able to carry on the rest of the night. I even playing a show with my band after all this. Towards the end of the night on my way home i'd say about six hours later my leg started to feel stiff and it gradually got stiffer. I woke up in the mourning in pain. Now I can't walk, bend my knee, definatly not drive or move suddenly without feeling like someones jabbing a fork in my knee! It's pretty swollen especially above the knee cap. Could this be a simple sprain or something more complicated?

Sorry to hear about your knee. It is hard to say whether or not you subluxed your patella (when your knee cap shifts out of place and then "pops" back into place on its own) or if you have done some degree of damage to one of your ligaments. My guess is the patellar subluxation. Have you done any treatment for your knee? You should try to ice it down and do some simple knee flexion-extension stretches to loosen it a bit. Without an accurate diagnosis and management this injury could plague you for a while--Be smart and go get it checked out by an Orthopedist.
