knee making weird sound. still giving me pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

i injured my knew in high school by falling wrong. the doctor told me that i had an MCL sprain, i believe, and i never received any form of rehab for it. my knee occasionally gives me slight discomfort, and i've noticed i can not be as explosive when i play sports anymore and can get overpowered by smaller people. my knee has had a couple episodes where it feels like it popped out of place, while playing intense basketball and i had to straighten my knee in order to feel like i could walk again. people tell me that i have a slight limp and i've noticed that i swing my left leg to the outside while walking instead of bending the knee and moving it forwards. it also makes a popping sound when i straighten it, and if i elevate my left leg and lunge it creates a type of grinding sound. please help.

    Hi you need to get a mri scan done as if you have torn lygements it wont show up on a xray. As i had the same problem at work knee was swollen dr said it was arthrist which was not it also made nosies and i walked with a limp as well.
