Pain in calf / knee when kneeling

[NSUCK]

When im playing paintball and go into a bunker i knell on my left leg ( i just cant seem to do it naturally on my right) and there is no problem when im kneeled down, but when i go to stand up there is a sharp pain down the calf of my leg.. i mean it hurts bad (i have a high tolerance for pain) anyone had this before? and what is it.. my frineds said it was inflamation... but what should i do.. go to the doctors? ice it? stay off it?

thanks

Dude, when things hurt bad, and I mean REALLY bad, like you might be describing. SEE A DOCTOR, if its killin ya and affecting your play better get it checked out!

Is it swollen? Red? If it is might wanna ice it. I'd make an appointment with a doctor and make sure to stay off of it (i.e. no paintball, or well, you cant kneel, gotta eat a couple balls ;) ) and rest up.

Do you wear kneepads when you play? Might also wanna consider getting yourself a good pair of those if ya dont! If its hurting THROUGH the knee pads, then DEFINATELY see a doctor!

Take care bro!

I would go see a doctor. I have been blessed with tendenitis in both knees, so I am not really able to kneel. Even though that is somewhat serious, it never hurts really bad. I have a high tolerance for pain as well ( I always play in t-shirt, and shorts if I can) and I know that feeling you are talking about. Go get it looked at. It might be something serious.
