My knee has been giving way for over a year now, i did see a doctor at the time and got told i had torn something. is it a bad sign?

Knee instability: Knee instability and being told you "had torn something" suggest significant injury, Left untreated, the injury can increase risk for arthritis in the affected knee. Best to see the doctor, get a firm diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
