Meniscus tear?: Your symptoms of pain w/ squatting , twisting and turning associated w/ swelling may indicate a meniscus( cartilage) tear.The meniscus can tear as we get older w/minimal trauma as the water content diminishes and it becomes more 'brittle' and less 'elastic '. See your board certified orthopedic surgeon for examination. Best of luck!

I fell on the stairs and landed on my left knee and foot. Now the side of my foot hurts a lot, if I need to walk on it the pain is like 9/10. It's also very swollen around the lateral malleolus. Does it just need rest or do I need a doctor?
