Whats wrong with my knee?

Well I injured my knee while playing basketball a few weeks ago, I dont know what happened, I was standing about to turn and make a cut when I heard a pop and felt intense pain in my left knee. I didnt go to the hospital or anything I just rested it. My knee doesnt hurt that much, it doesnt hurt when I walk, just once in a while it would sting. Whats worrying me is every time I put pressure on it I feel my knee being really unstable, it buckles inward when leaning on my left leg. Also once in a while it feels like my leg from the knee down wont move with my body. Its like when I spin or move to my left, my leg sort of twists at the knee, my foot is still pointing straight but I am facing to my left. Can anyone tell me whats wrong any help would be appreciated.

Reply:Maybe you have twisted a ligament. I would reccomend you go see a doctor; they are the only person who can tell you whats wrong for sure :)
Reply:Go to the hospital. Sounds like you've ruptures a cruciate ligament. It can be repaired.
Reply:Get to the doctor right now. If you delay too long, you may have permanent damage. I know because that's what happened to me.
Reply:Definitely sounds like you have torn your ACL, Anterieur crucial ligament. Before doing any more activity GO SEE A KNEE SPECIALIST. Some people indeed live without the ACL, but if you want to continue sports actively it usually requires an operation. I tore mine and it is 100 better now that I have gotten it fixed.
Reply:well it could be seperated or poped out of place my knee is like that sometmes and i got a knee brace and it seems to help
Reply:It is broken, it needs to be removed, and then replaced with a plastic one.
Reply:sorry to hear but i would go see a doctor,having a knee reconstruction myself it does sound serious.i don't want to scare you but be prepared to hear that you might have cartilage damage and torn or snapped your anterior cruciate


ligament
Reply:i am not physic i think you should go to the doctors
Reply:sounds like possible anterior cruciate ligament trouble-?- which could lead to chronic instability--- see the doc (orthopedic specialist) and then a sports rehab depending on what they say-- good luck in getting back on the court-
Reply:i think your bone is injured
