A member asked:
Hey there, i went skiing yesterday and ended up skipping on ice and twisting my knee. there is no swelling or bruising. the pain is on the right side of my knee cap and hurts to extend. not sure if its just a sprain or meniscus tear?

Conservative : Use ice, elevation, immobilization, even an OTC knee sleeve, and give it a few days, BUT if persistent symptoms, best to have checked out by orthopedic surgeon.
