What you were doing / trying to do when injury occurred?
I was doing weighted one legged squats with 2 10lbs dumbells
Where any other people involved?
I was alone.
Part of body - description of injury, rating of severity 1-10.
My left knee began clicking when I stood up past 90* on the 2nd or 3rd squat. There is absolutely no pain when I do so, but the clicking sound grows louder as I add weight or jump harder.
Did you see a doctor for diagnosis?
Negative, but from the research I have done- if there is no pain, it is generally OK.
Did you get X-rays or MRI's?
Negative
Picture of the injury
Negatory
Could you / how could you have avoided the injury?
I feel I could have avoided this injury if I were more educated on proper one legged squat form...
Date / type / severity of your last injury?
About 3 months ago I twisted my right knee landing in a foam pit from a front punch. I rate the severity from 4-6.
Notes on the experience?
I feel like an idiot for not completely understanding one legged squat technique and adding weight to the body weight version exercise. I have done a fair amount of research and most everything is saying that as long as the click is not associated with pain it is generally OK, though I would still like a second opinion. Thanks.
