What is wrong with my knee it shifts when i go down the stairs ? it clunks and is very painful please help and explain i do have swelling in the knee

Possible tear: If you are having feelings of instability or mechanical symptoms you may have a ligamentous tear based on your injury history. If you are having swelling as well this is a sign that something is going on. I would recommend getting seen by somebody to better evaluate it.
