Since I no longer "need advice" I'll keep a running update here under a more descriptive title.

Today I saw the Orthopedist. Based on my symptoms, he thinks it's either an injury to the fat pad or a torn Meniscus. My dad schedules an MRI whenever they call (yes, the doc's practice has their OWN MRI!) and we go from there.
Interestingly enough and completely unrelated, when they did the xrays today, they found some sort of benin bone cyst on my fibula just below the knee. It's nothing won't affect anything whatsoever, just interesting. Basically where a part of my growth plate was "left behind" as I grew, and I'm 6'4" so it makes sense.
 
Rename the thread to "Battle of the wounded knee". :D And get well soon!
 
Well, got the MRI done today and I have the films ready to hand to the doc this Tuesday. The MRI was great! The bed thing was comfy and I felt like I thought a Mercury astronaut would! Too bad they wouldn't have let me take my computer in so I could play Orbiter :P
I frankly can't make heads or tails of the films so the suspense'll be killing me till Tuesday!
 
I wonder how much damage a MRI would cause a laptop. Hope your knee's all right, zat.
 
Well, looks like it's nothing more than a bone contusion with resulting stress-fracture on the femur (think bruise). Only treatment is to decrease my activity as much as I can, but unfortunately, that's dang near impossible considering I still have to go to college and I'm quite the lazy bum as it is. So it's not really "fixable" like I was hoping for.
 
you possibly want to think about a brace. They aleviate some of the pain, however they wind up hurting you in the long term use
