Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Sharp pain in the knee due to stretching does not indicate that there could be tear.
It would have caused due to sprain in the ligament or tendon of the knee joint.
Kindly take analgesics with muscle relaxants to overcome such pain. You may need to wear a knee cap during stretching exercises.
It would be advisable to undergo physiotherapy and knee strengthening exercises to overcome such problems.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
