Knee Clicking

[NikiM20]

A few weeks ago my dog ran into my knee. I hit the ground and saw stars. My knee was very tender, but now I can hardly move it and it clicks when I walk on it. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, but does anyone have any idea on what this might be?

Probably either a torn ACL or torn meniscus. Either the main ligament that runs between the bones in your knee or the cartilage in your knee. I've had my knee scoped twice. I'm tellin ya, I'd rather go through childbirth again than to have my ACL blown out. It is the worst pain EVER when you have a complete tear in your ACL. More than likely you've torn meniscus if you are able to walk on it with a normal amount of weight, but if not...I feel for you.

That is my vote as well. Sorry about your knee trouble. Mine was fine for well over a decade. So if it is as simple as a meniscus tear, you may not have to do anything right away if you choose not to. Mine got worse, so I had it fixed.

Possibly torn cartilage too.
