...pain. R.I.C.E. not helping? Going to the Dr on Monday any suggestions/advice til then. I started running a month ago, but it popped at work when I was pulling something and walking backward. Felt like when you crack your fingers, thought no big deal. Swelling is getting worse and is starting to gently throb at times. Taking Ibuprofen and have a knee brace for compression. When I have to try to kneel, major pain is in my top left part of my left knee. Think that's everything. Thank you in advance.
