Same thing.. I had it happen for the first time at age 14 (playing football!) & spent the next 12 weeks in a cast. It sounds like the same thing.. Have you seen a doctor for this?? If not it would probably be a good idea to get an xray & be sure nothing else inside your knee was damaged. If they don't cast it, wrap it with ace bandages as a support for a few days, & try to be extra careful not to overstress it. Keep it elevated when you can, & ice would be good to keep down swelling. Exercises will help strengthen & stabilize the knee. Take care of it now--all these years later, i'm suffering with bad arthritis in that knee....
