Hi guys. While squatting this morning I felt a pop in my left knee followed by moderate pain. The pain - right above my knee cap- got worse over the next several hours but is not severe. It hurts to the touch, to walk, and is particularly bad going up stairs or getting up from a sitting position. It doesn’t feel unstable.
I appreciate this isn’t enough info for a diagnosis but I was hoping you could help me determine whether this is a “go to the Orthopedist” type issue or a “give it a few days of rest and see how it feels” type issue. Should I ice it? And most importantly, when can I try to squat again. . .
i appreciate any thoughts or advice you could provide.
