In : In the setting of an acute injury, the inability to bear weight (walk) without significant pain is a possible symptom of a fracture, ligament tear (especially if the knee is unstable), bruise of the joint surface, or meniscal tear. Swelling of the joint is an additional symptom that would increase the likelihood of a more significant injury. These symptoms following injury should be evaluated by your sports physician.

See your doctor: You seem to lead a very active lifestyle. With a history of knee injury, you should see an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment. This will help guide your recovery and return to activity.
