What Causes Pain In The Knees After A Leg Injury?

I twisted my leg in getting out of the back seat. My knee has been sore and it s been 10 days now. The thigh muscle is no longer sore, but the knee is only sore on the left side. Could it be a torn cartilage? It hurts to walk. No pain sitting or lying down.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It could be a ligament injury if it's giving you difficulty to walk. Depending on the severity and location of injury your treatment would differ from basic bed rest with braces to surgery. Confirm with an MRI scan for soft tissue injures around the knee.
