If i stand straight and twist my knee it hurts what could that be? would that suggest a tear? where are the ligaments in your knee?

Meniscal injury.: This is known as the thesaly test and often indicates damage to one of the menisci. If the symptoms are only mild you may get away with rest and non steroidal anti inflammatory medications. However, if symptoms are severe or protracted you should see your doc.
