I have seen a sports medicine doctor about this, but so far have only received an x-ray...he says I should come back in 3 weeks if it's not any better and he'll give me an MRI...I almost feel like he doesn't believe me because I don't remember an incident where I injured it. Anyway...
This pain is located on the outer-under side of my left knee. I have full range of motion, but when I extend it all the way, or bend it all the way, there is a constant (no pulsing) pain. It usually does not hurt when i walk, unless I walk for a long time. My doctor recommended I ice it, but it almost feels worse after I do it. I don't know if that is because of the icing, or because I tend to ice at night. He says it may possibly be a torn meniscus, but just wants me to stay off it and ice it for now. I've had this pain for at least a year (but seems to be gradually getting worse)...does this sound like a torn meniscus? What else could it be?
