Hurt my knee week ago squatting. Now knee seems unstable, painful. Worst pain is lifting my leg straight up (unloading the weight). Doesn t hurt with bending unloaded. But often when walking it feels like it will give way. No real swelling that I ve seen. Does seem to be pain above knee in area of patellar tendon when laying straight in bed. I do feel a bit better wearing a support brace. Not sure if I should wait this out and do conservative therapy like rest, ice, brace or go to Orthopod now and get examined.
