Did I tear my MCL in my knee?

Asked by soccergirl321 (4points) August 13th, 2012

While playing soccer, I planted my left foot to shoot a goal. At that point, I felt and heard my knee pop and it slid to the left a little. It’s been three days and it is still swollen, and the inside of the knee is bruised. When I walk on it, there is a constant popping noise, and I can’t fully straighten or bend it.

Sounds like it certainly could be an MCL or ACL (1) though I did have similar symptoms when I dislocated/cracked my kneecap. Get to a orthopedist and have it looked at ASAP until then think RICE.
