Injury, thoughts?

Options
I was playing soccer last night and was running. I didn't take an impact from anyone but felt my knee pop. It was sore but not unbearable. I iced it before bed. Woke up this morning with alot of pain and swelling. I can't squat down or kneel without alot of pain. I have no health insurance so I won't be going to a doctor. Anyone have any thoughts on what the injury might be what to do about it?

    Well not being able to go to a doctor makes it a lot harder. It could be a lot of things but in general if there was a pop and now pain with swelling chances are pretty good you sprained something in there. There are only two options for a sprain, rest it and let it heel or keep running on it until it tears completely and then you need surgery.

    That said there are plenty of other potential options for what could have happened, but without a medical examination it's hard to say what it was.
