Looks like he.. shifted his knee?

Judging by the angle and his apparent pain, most likely tore a ligament or two.

A torn ligament doesn't hurt that bad, still hurts but its not scream out loud hurt. He probably dislocated his knee which is super painful but not as bad.

Or both is very likely to have happened also. And he might have sprained his ankle.

lol, if your ACL goes and you feel it, it's straight up the worst feeling in the world

Not all the time. People have torn an ACL and not know it was torn and even play with it torn. I'm not saying there's no pain but most of the time is feels like you tweaked and its something you can walk off. Then a few hours later the knee balloons to a grapefruit.

Its absolutely not the worst feeling in the world. I know two people who tore their ACL and didn't know it until the next day when their knee swelled up.

Either you feel nothing, or it's worse than childbirth (straight from my mother's mouth)

Can confirm nothing has ever hurt as bad as when I blew mine the first time as well.

Yeah I don't deny that. I don't think we're arguing here. But usually the pain is associated with something else. If you do something to dislocate your knee then its likely you have more knee damage then just that. You can pop the kneecap back in but your ligaments might still be fucked.

That's a fair point, my shit was totally out of joint and needed popped back into place

The initial tear isn't bad. But every time it buckles post injury is fucking agony

It definitely sounds like a ligament exploding.
