OK we are talking about my left knee here obviously on my left leg. When I put my leg straight and relax it, and when I push on the outside of my kneecap (pushing it toward the right leg), I feel pain and a clicking of bone or something. Its just below this spot where the swelling is. The injury just seemed to appear the day after I had been playing soccer, I noticed it was cracking, but then it appeared to become painful as it cracked, and then it got swollen. So it seems to be getting slowly worse. I dont remember what I did during the game, but I did not feel injured at any point during playing - I was just running around like a maniac like I always do. The knee doesnt really appear to lock.
And I am getting old, I will be 28 this July, but Im not ready to stop playing soccer.
