Get yourself to a doctor ASAP! It's possible you have torn your meniscus, the cartilage in your knee. To me, this felt like a ripping, tearing, sharp pain. If that's the case it will have to be surgically repaired, but it's simple to do with an arthroscopic laser these days, and you should have a fairly short recovery time. Good luck to you.

Your ACL is helping restrict hyperextension, or over-straightening, the leg. The ACL is much more likely to rip in women, instead than men, chiefly for the period of routine like football. When individuals tear their ACL it's traditional to listen to a "pop". A character can are living and stroll most often with out their ACL, they only must watch out considering the fact that a torn ACL manner the knee is not fairly a steady and different issues can come up. You too can seek different buildings of the knees: Medial and Lateral meniscus Medial and Lateral collateral ligaments Posterior cruciate ligament
