possible knee ligament injury

Hi

Where exactly is your pain??
Also what aggravates it?? cycling? walking downstairs? etc

thanks for replying, Its been reocurring over the past four years, sometimes its ok and I can go down stairs alright and then I'll go for a cycle and it'll be the day after that it'll swell up and get sore to bend my knee even. sometimes I really hammer it when cycling and sometimes I'll find it really sore to walk. usually the pain's on the inside of my knee and the swollen part is sometimes sore to the touch and recently I've been getting a different type of pain just back from the swollen bit as if its the quadricep thats hurting.

And also I was wondering, I use generic knee supports to apply compression and give support when its sore and that seems to help but what I was wondering is if there's a danger of becoming reliant on the knee support or can I just wear it every day until my knee can support itself?

I really just want to strenghen it enough so that it doesn't hurt after every single bit of exertion, even a long walk will get my knee hurting.
