What Causes Popping Sound In Knee Along With Severe Pain?

Hi, so I had to run the mile today at school and I did not stretch beforehand. When I got home I squatted down to pick something up and my right knee pops and it is so painful. It still has not gone away and I'm not sure what could have caused this except maybe when I ran today? I'm just not sure.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain popping sound in knee along with pain that has occurred after running can be due to causes like Antterial Cruciate ligament injury [ACL injury], Medial collateral ligament injury [MCL injury], Runner's knee,Meniscus tear etc..
I would suggest you to consult anOrthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI scan, Manual tests like Pivot's shift, Lachmans test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to apply an analgesic and muscle relaxant gel..
You can also be advised to do cool compresses..
Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone..
You can also be advised to put knee brace and orthotics..
Physiotherapy can be advised..
You can also be advised treatments like Arthroscopy and knee surgery if conservative treatment does not relieve..
Limit exerting the leg too much..
Take appropriate rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
