a few weeks ago i had a bit of knee pain down the outside of my right knee a couple of days after some heavyish squats for reps i self diagnosed it as it tendon pain so got a foam roller and started working on it and laid of deads and squats for a bit.last week i managed to deadlift and squat as normal with no pain at all and seems to have cleared up.

now i woke up yesterday morning in agony now just above my left knee cap and have been hobling around since then. im now lying on the settee with both legs stretched out and ive noticed i cant actually elevate my left leg even an inch without any assistance.im going to the gp tomorrow but has any one experienced this or have any ideas what it could be

Meniscal tear! I tore mine 11 years ago in competition. My leg just buckled, didn't feel any pain, carried on competing and even managed to sprint for the bus later. Not even limping. The following day, I woke up at 5am in masses of pain, unable to walk for 2 weeks.

He might send you off for an MRI if you're lucky, but most likely do a McMurray test (twist your knee without pain until you shout "f**k" all of a sudden)

Unable to walk at all for two weeks, couple more months of pain, limited ROM - unable to touch heel to ass for years. Swelling yes, fluid buildup on the outside of the knee but no bruising.

There could be something torn and folded over, sticking. Get the test performed by a physio, it's probably 95% accurate and gives a very good educated guess without MRI.
