I'm really worried about my knee. I hurt it while walking and now I can't seem to stand up straight on just one knee. The pain is intense, like a shock every time I try to walk after the injury. I did see an orthopedist who just twisted my leg a bit and I felt better for a while, but once I got home, the pain came back even worse. It's like a sharp jerk in my knee whenever I move. I'm freaking out about whether this is serious or if I might even need surgery. The thing is, I'm not in a good financial position and I'm really scared about what this means for my life and career. Could you please tell me what might be going on?

The recurring shock-like pain and instability in your knee suggest a possible ligament sprain or meniscal injury, which may not necessarily require surgery; however, to determine the extent of the injury and appropriate treatment, consider undergoing an MRI scan and consulting an orthopedic specialist again, who may recommend physical therapy, bracing, or pain management options to alleviate your symptoms and improve knee function

I'm experiencing some pain when I'm either standing up or lying down, specifically in my leg near my stomach. It seems to hurt even more when I put pressure on it. There's no blood or anything like that, but should I be concerned about this? What could be causing the pain?
