A member asked:

On saturday jan 24th i practiced snowboarding, falling several times. since then i feel pain in my knee. i suspect it can be the meniscus.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meniscal tear: A meniscal tear usually presents with symptoms of knee pain and swelling. Knee feels like giving out. On exam there may be swelling and difficulty fully extending and flexing the affected knee. Please see your primary care physician if this does not improve.
