Suggest Treatment For Popping And Rolling Of Knee After Injury
a few years ago i injured my knee during a basketball game. I was pushed but my left leg stayed planted to the ground, as a result my knee popped out and back in over the course of 30 seconds...the sports physician assumed it was fine just by looking at it and told me icing it and hot patches would bring down swelling and reduce my pain...however the next morning i woke up extremely stiff....now whenever i run, jump, or move my leg a certain way my knee pops and rolls to the left side and causes serious pain...the only way that i fix this is that i straighten my leg out and my knee rolls and pops back into a somewhat straight position...is there anything doctors can do to fix this or should i just wear a sports brace during certain activities?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to overuse of the knee. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend to maintain a brace and rest,avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms. If the knee pain continues, I suggest to see an orthopedist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
