Basically ive had this injury for about 8 years. i am a very active person who does martial arts, gymnastics, parkour, rock climbing and dance. however it is only painful after intense stretching, high impact exercises, low squatting. the pain usually occurs the next day and gradually builds up until i can no longer extend to full lock as is to painful. usually after two weeks the pain goes away but if do the specific exercises i listed it will cause another painful episode. the pain is sudden and does not last but occurs everytime i extend my knee from bent to full lock and almost clicks into place when ar full lock. the pain is on the click. i have attached a video as the click is visible on the outside. basically i have no clue what it is and have gone to the nhs whereby they just gave me stretches and i have gone to osteopaths but no one has actually told me what is wrong. im debating on going back to the nhs for scans but not sure i should. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

    You need an MRI of the knee and an exam by an orthopedic surgeon. At the exam, he/she will twist and turn your knee. When the click occurs during a specific twist, he/she will know the area to focus on. The MRI will confirm it...hopefully...
