If I bend my knee to put my socks on it hurts to push my leg outward. I can walk, run and do squats more or less except fully folding of the knee. It hurts at night when I'm on my side but fine all the time if I'm on my back.

All the google hits talk about meniscus tears but the symptoms are not my symptoms. Going on 4 weeks now and no change for better of for worse. I have worn a brace during the day and only during the night. No benefit during the the day and some benefit at night to keep the knee from having lateral pressure. But the braces are biased for the hinge type of activity, not much lateral support.

The initial injury was a very slight hyperextension, if I remember, but I have no problem fully straight even doing leg lifts. Where it's really bothering me is getting up and down off the floor if I need to get down on the floor. What's going on?
