That is the only image I had saved. I have severe pain on the inside of my knee. My knee locks and pops quite often. I cannot jump without extreme pain in the middle of my knee cap. I am a golf professional but injured it stepping on uneven ground coming downhill off a tee box. Was really curious about all the bright white on the images. from what I have read that indicates fluid from a tear.
