Yesterday, I bent over, and when I did so, I heard a tearing sound, not so much of a pop, but like a blue jean tear. I have no idea what it was(no, it was not my shorts I had on, I checked.) right away I had no knee pain. Today, when I woke up, I went to work and my knee became more and more painful through out the day. I got home and noticed the medial part of my knee was a tad swollen. I can walk normal, but it hurts if i stand on my 'injured' leg. If i walk, and try to twist my leg at all, my knee pops every time i step. Also if I'm sitting and place my hand on my knee you feel a grinding, causes no sound however. Did I possibly tear my MCL? or any other part of my knee?
