Tear? What should I do?
Not looking for medical advice. I am chronically ill with suspected fibromyalgia and a myriad of other issues. I have always had knee pain, but for around the last week and a half its gotten quite worse. Achey pain that feels like its below my kneecap and doesn't feel like my regular pain.
I wake up and if my knee was bent at all, I have to force it to unbend, like its locked in place. It's extremely painful and getting worse. I can put weight on it but it SUCKS, so I've been hobbling around limping with my cane.
The thing is, there's no swelling and I don't remember any event that should have caused it? The only thing that comes to mind is maybe a 2-3 days before it started I stepped off a ledge wrong at work and I felt a sharp pain go through my thigh and lower back. Does this sound like it could be a tear?
