Lunge alternatives?

I hurt my left knee when I was 16. Doing some lunge/jump exercise. Since then I haven not been able to do lunges without my knee killing me. I am afraid I will hurt it again. Does anyone have any suggestions on alternatives to lunges or any exercises that may make the tendons/ligaments in my knee stronger so maybe in a few months or a year I can actually do lunges?

Does squatting hurt your knee? If not do squats. Go down slowly and controlled.
Don't jump. Jumping is VERY intensive on the body.

Please clarify
it hurts now?
only when you do lunges?
what do you mean by hurt it again? if you are in pain- it's already an issue.
and if you are in pain - a doctor is probably a good idea. not a interwebz message board.0
