I have had pain and swelling in my right knee for a couple of days now but today i actually felt a pop in the right side of my knee. what should i do?

Orthopedic surgeon: This combination of signs and symptoms sound like an internal knee derangement and could be due to cartilage or ligament injury. At present rest,elevation,cold applications and,if you can take them,NSAIDS like ibuprofen are the best measures. See an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and treatment unless signs and symptoms resolve quickly.
