Cartilage injury?: Your description is suspicious for a meniscus or cartilage injury. The meniscus is a cartilage-like structure in the knee that helps to cushion an stabilize the joint during motion. Cartilage allows the bones to glide more smoothly during joint motion. An MRI would is most sensitive and specific in showing any injury to the meniscus and may be necessary if your symptoms continue.
