What Causes Difficulty In Bending Knees?

I was playing soccer and my foot stopped but my body kept moving sideways and my knee made a weird popping/cracking sound, like when you crack your fingers but louder. I couldn t walk initially but then it got a little better, still limped. However, as the night went on my knee became sore again, not too painful, but I can t bend it 90 degrees without it feeling like it will pop out of place. Is it just sore from the impact?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you have hurt your knee, and there can me internal derangement of knee, which means that you would have torn your ligaments or meniscus, which are cushions in your knee, the best is to consult a knee surgeon and get an MRI done, to see the problem, these days arthoscopic surgeries are available to tackle these issues with very less morbidity.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
