? Meniscus: The location of your pain and tenderness suggest a possible meniscus( cartilage ) tear.The medial meniscus can cause pain w/ walking and may worsen w/ turning , twisting , pivoting or squatting. The meniscus acts as a ' shock absorber ' or cushion between your tibia and femur and does not heal once torn. See your board certified orthopedic surgeon for exam and definitive diagnosis. Gl!
