Could The Sharp Pain In The Knee Due To The Sprain Is A Long Term Consequence?
I suffered a knee sprain at work. There was a momentary sharp pain in the knee, which eased afterwards. A little over a week later, the knee clicks (or makes a cracking sound) when stretched. Could there be any long term consequences of this presently manageable knee problem?

pain and cracking in the posterior aspect of the knee is due to osteoarthritis
if its medial or lateral side then you can suspect meniscal injury
if you are concerned about your long term knee health then do an x ray if it is posterior pain , MRI if it is otherwise
However simple quadriceps strengthening exercise and hamestring , calf stretching can fix it
Good Luck
