What Causes Pain In The Knee On And Off?

In 2003 I was kicked in the knee by a horse, in 03 and 04 I played volleyball since then I have had issues with my knee off and on. It pulls in the back of my leg when I exercise and when I m just walking the outside of my knee hurts to bend and straighten. I have gone to physical therapy which helped for a little while however a few months later the problem happened again. They pt said I needed to get my knee stronger which I have been trying to do but it hurts so much to do any kind of exercise on my knee, I do wear a brace when I need it. Lately when I walk around it feels like both sides of my knee pull and my knee cap pops. What should I do?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

It is necessary consulting with an orthopedist for a physical exam and performing a knee joint MRI study in order to study the meniscus and cartilage present in the knee.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
