Knee pain: A knee can be injured in many different ways. The fact that you can or cannot ambulate does not translate into the severity of the injury. When did this occur? Was it a rotational injury with foot planted? Is the knee full of fluid or just a little swollen? Sorry, I can't be more specific. A virtual consult might be beneficial.
