I have been having pain on my left knee on the left side towards the back. Went to dr yesterday and said it was tendon. Gave me muscle relaxers and physical therapy. Today getting into a truck my knee made a loud popping noise. Intense burning and pain in left side and behind knee. Hurts to put pressure on it..

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be ligament injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
