A typical symptom at the moment of acute meniscal damage with a fragment of its fragment torn off is a perceptible crunch or audible click in the knee, severe pain and joint blockage (most often in flexion). Trying to move your knee aggravates the pain. It may be difficult or impossible to stand on the injured leg. In minor injuries of the meniscus, the symptoms are less intense - the pain may appear only during activities that put a lot of strain on the knee (running, jumping), and the feeling of jumping in the knee may be temporary and the patient is able to unblock them by means of manipulations known to him.
