Internal derangement: Your symptoms may indicate an injury to the knee joint. Pain associated with a twisting mechanism that resolves in a few weeks with no instability, but worsens with a deep knee bend is more suspicious for cartilage, meniscus injury or even a bone bruise. If associated swelling, decreased function or symptoms continue, imaging beginning with a regular x-ray then MRI would be appropriate.
