Why Me Knee Has Popped Out With Swelling And Pain?

Hello Doctor, Over the last month or so my left knee has popping out when i bend a certain way. I can feel it on the inside front of the knee but not the knee cap. It normally puts itself back in place when I straighten it but yesterday it popped out and did not go back in and now I have limited range of motion, swelling and pain. Any ideas? Regards, Mark

It can be a damaged or torn meniscus which might be getting caught in the Intercondylar region of your knee. Get an MRI of the knee done. It might require surgery in the form of Arthroscopy
