That's a classic sign of a torn meniscus. Get thee to an orthopedist today. You're going to need an MRI. Hopefully, your ACL is OK.
I can relate-- I popped my knee a number of times in judo.. and have had knee surgery three times.

Right now...my left foot and big toe nail. I did my first Half-Ironman distance triathlon this weekend and it was a bit rough. Did go out and run today though...I was supposed to take a week off but I was getting bored and cranky.

What isn't?
Though I've been doing a lot better lately. Knee's doing pretty good and back's not as bad as it was.
(Had knee surgery (lateral release) in April after a year and a half of excruciating pain and I have a herniated disk in my lower back).
Vicodin is a friend!

My sinuses and ears are about to explode and my throat is scratchy. I hate my fall allergies.

To update, I guess after having it x-rayed today it's just a sprain. Brace, ibuprofen and ice.

So yesterday morning I popped it again going down some stairs...  So after sitting in the dr.s office for about an hour in pain today they took x-rays again. At least this time I saw my actual doctor, last time I went to urgent care. So yeah, they're trying to get me in today for an MRI. The doctor thinks it's the ACL. No judo or jiu jitsu for a LONG time it looks like.

The same thing as every day - knee pain, lower back pain, and neck pain. The pain might be associated with my CFS... but then again I don't have much if any cartilage left in my knees, and I "frayed" (less than a tear, more than a strain) my ACL & PCL on my right knee 6 years ago (ironically on Halloween) - and I put my back and neck out when I went sailing of the turret of a tank when it fired without warning 13 years ago... so really I'd pretty much be in pain anyways ~ it's just now I can't take any pain-killers 'cause they'd react with the medication I'm currently on

At least they can get you in for the MRI really quickly. If it makes you feel better, I have no idea if I'll ever get back to taekwondo. Okay, that probably won't make you feel better, but just know that I know what it feels like. Welcome to the gimp squad!

I have had the flu TWICE this month. I have had it for 5 days now, and the fevers will not go away. The first time, it eventually ended- but I did have to miss a day of work. This time, it started on Friday in the middle of a class tour I was doing. And the fevers keep ebbing and flowing. I know both hits have been the flu because usually colds have a certain progression that these do not match.
