Suggest Remedy For Pain In Knee And Inability To Walk Properly

I was sprinting and as I stepped on the outside of my foot, 3 loud popping sounds came from my knee. I immediately felt pain and could not walk properly. I iced my knee for 50 minutes. When i tried walking after that i found that i could walk only if my knee was slightly bent and i placed all weight on my toes, rather than my heel. I cannot straighten my leg while putting weight on it and cannot bend my knee within 150 degrees of the back of my leg approx. What do you recommend I do and what type of injury do you believe i have sustained?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.. You appear to have injured the soft tissue in the knee ( meniscus or the cruciates, later more likely). I would advise you to visit an Orthopaedics sports surgeon who might go for a MRI scan for further diagnosis.
