Answer 1

It sounds like you may have a pulled ligament, but also there may be a chip of bone that was chipped off and has not re-attached that is "floating" under the knee cap.  An MRI is the best thing to have done to know for sure.  You can get x-rays, but the MRI is better because it will give you a better picture of what is going on.

If it is pulled ligament, you can get "prolotherapy" that will most likely work much better than surgery and far less expensive.  If the bone is chipped and "floating," you will most likely have to get arthroscopic surgery done to correct the problem.  Regardless of the final decision, you should also consult a Certified Nutritional Therapist to have them recommend a good diet and possibly supplementation to assist you in the healing process once the doctors have done their job.  Doctors know nothing about nutrition and healing in regard to nutrients.

good luck to you

Answer 2

You could have torn your acl or tore your miniscus at any rate your doctor should order an MRI and exrays to tell the story. Sometimes the damage will not even show up until they do the arthoscopic surgery. Which is what happened to me in 2004 now I am recovering from a total knee replcement and even though it is very painful, I have a new knee!!!
