Hello! So I just found this site and have been looking everywhere to try to figure out if I actually did do something to my knee! (I am only 15 years old) I do competitive dance and yesterday I threw my leg out almost like wiggled it because I always do that when my knees slightly ache while I have been dancing or if they lock. But this time my knee felt really weird and really
tight almost. So I sat down and tried straightening it and I would have pain in my lower kneecap (I am really hyper extended) and I got ice but that pain went away. Now I was able to straighten but I feel A LOT of pressure  on the Side of my knee cap and it does not straighten as much as my right leg (one is not more hyper extended then the other)  My parents think I am just over reacting  and don't think any thing of it. But I am really concerned especially because I dance most of the week.

that is the Ligament that makes ur knee move back and forth. and because mine is a near complete tear ,my knee gives way and i fall down alot. my knees are (no lie) blood red for some reason. They hurt everyday that there is. So much pressure in them . and when my knees crack they hurt soooooooo badddddd that i can hardly walk at times. I have been fitted for 4 knees braces. That the first one sent me to the Hospital. I kept telling the lady who put the first brace on my R. knee that it was toooo tight. She said that it was supose to be like that and it would be ok. ya right.Within one hr.  I had to be rushed to the Hospital because of the brace being too tight It pretty much jammed that Cyst

With the history posted by you it seems to be that there might be an loose bodies within the joint cavity and you may require an arthroscopy for confirmation of diagnosis.
