Could i have torn my meniscus i was playing lacrosse and a player slashed my knee and its swollen popped locks up and hurts with any pivoting or turns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meniscus: The signs of a meniscus tear are pain,swelling,clicking,popping. If it is severe you can have locking where the joint cannot move. It sounds like you may have it. A mri can tell you
