I crouched down one day and got back up real quick and felt this incredible pain for one second. I didnt think anything of it until I found out a few days later that I had this huge lump on the back of my knee which is hard as a rock. The front of my knee area is all swollen and I cant even walk right. I have to limp around bc it hurts too much when i try to stand on that leg. This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to see a doctor and what could my injury possibly be?
Any kind of help would be appreciated

Yes, you need to make an appointment with an Orthopedic Doctor. You at the least have fluid on your knee and at the worst torn a ligament/broke of piece of cartilage loose.
GOOD LUCK!

There are some people that have a small cyst form in the back of the knee called a Baker's cyst and that may have ruptured from your sudden knee bend and straightening. I would recommend seeing your nearest orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and MRI to see what exactly happened. Hope this helps!

if it doesn,t get bigger in a few weeks, i,d see an orthopedic document that focuses on physical games accidents. that,s what i did whilst i had knee agony. i had a lateral tear through the meniscus in my left knee. it simply acquired worse. an MRI confirmed the harm. i additionally had extreme arthritis. i had keyhole surgical procedure to permit me to stroll after rehab. i finally needed to get a brand new knee. the factor being: if it interferes along with your lifestyles, see a professional.

definitely see a doctor (orthopedic or sports injury specialist)
there is no way without an mri to see the real extent of what it could be.
