Meniscal tear: It sounds like you may be having a meniscal tear problem. Often it happens with trauma or sudden twisting movements. Usually it is treated with anti-inflammatories over the counter or prescribed, knee brace, and physical therapy. If no improvement need to consult with an orthopedic for further evaluation.
