The severe pain and swelling lasted about 5 days, but for at least 3 months following there was still severe pain whenever I straightened my leg too quickly or too far; the same with bending it. Eventually the severe pain went away, but whenever I worked out or did something too fast or too much, I would get a sharp pain. About 8 months after the fall, I went to my doctor. He performed some tests and could feel that something was up, so I got an x-ray and an MRI, but nothing showed up on the those, so I let it go.

What should I do? Read more... ...
