Hello doctor. I am nikhil, I am very active person, whenever I use to do squat I felt little pain in my knees. But on september 1 I was doing squats and after that I had pain and stiffness which remains after exercise. That time I had little pain, stiffness, and crackling sound in my knees. I took medication after 15 days and within 15 october my knee felt normal with very very small issue. But I walked on little uneven surfaces and my knee start giving little pain and crackling sound. I consulted doctor. Doctor asked me for x-ray. After seeing x-ray doctor said everything is ok. I think I have meniscus tear. Still it has little pain normally when I put pressure on my knee or when I walk little more or climb stairs. My knee has little dumb pain and my knee can't take load. I can fully stretch my leg. Please suggest what are the reason for this condition. What all precautions I have to take to get cured. Thank you.
