About 3 months ago I was at work and bent down to pick something up. My foot was planted on the ground and my knee seemed to twist to the side and make an EXTREMELY loud popping noise. It was VERY painful and I began to feel dizzy and nausious immediately after.

The next day my knee was a little swollen and very sore. Every time I extended my leg it would make the same loud pop. I went to the doctor and they put a knee immobilizer on and told me to keep it on for 3 weeks.

I took it off after 3 weeks and every since then Every time I extend my knee it pops. My knee is constantly sore and there is dull paid on the outside of my knee cap the majority of the time. Most of the pain is coming from the side of my kneecap.

It also hurts when I fully bend my leg and usually goes numb if I keep it in that position for too long.

Since, I just started a new job I do not have insurance yet and cannot afford to go to the doctor if it's something he cannot diagnose. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thank you for reading this long post!

OK, the SAME thing happened to me a year or so ago. And I was going to the chiropractor at the same time because of my headaches. Well I mentioned this to the chiropractor and what he did was pull my leg straight out, not hard, and twist it slightly. I could feel it go right back into place. It was super creepy feeling, but it didn't hurt at all. I would get a second opinion from someone, so that you can feel better. Maybe you can work out some kind of payment arrangement.
