Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

While you will need an examination and/or testing to know exactly what is wrong - you may have a torn meniscus. A meniscal tear is a tear in the meniscus, a shock-absorbing structure in the knee. There are two menisci (plural of meniscus) in each knee, one on the inside (medial), and one on the outside (lateral).
Best,
Susan
