Cartilage injury?: Squats are stressful on the knee joints. Pain on the “inner side” could be caused by a tear in the medial meniscus (cartilage) or a strain of the medial collateral ligament. Rest, ice,anti inflammatory Ed, & quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises (can find on internet)can be very helpful (plus no squats- bike or swim perhaps) but may need Dr eval & physical therapy if persists

I fell down two stairs on my way out the house on Tuesday. My leg is a bit swollen but is very sore. I am able to walk on it even though it is painful but last night there was a throbbing pain. Should I continue to put ice/heat on it or see a doctor?

Sudden back of knee pain feels stiff/swollen after squatting/sitting, goes away just was fast. No injury. No warmth/bruising. Days with no pain then comes back. Research seems symptoms like bakers cyst, bursitis. Hope no DVT since pain isn't constant?
