Just fell and bent knee way beyond its maximum. Heard a cracking/crunching sound and I am in excruciating pain. Should I go to a&e?

    You need some x-rays and be evaluated. That's not normal.It sounds like you might have tore something or messed up the implant. please seek help today. Prayers for you.

    Good news everyone!

    I haven't done any thing serious - not damaged the knee at all. Just tissue damage thankfully. They don't really do anything to treat it just the usual that we are all familiar with- ice, heat, elevation and rest. If it gets worse then I go back but it should be OK in a couple of days.

    Thanks everyone ?
