Constant pain in knee after an injury
Two days ago I fell a couple of times on my right knee. I know that there are no broken bones, but there is a constant & sharp pain, and the bones seem to grind against each other when I walk. What might have happened, and which specialist should I see?

grinding sound means ur protective cartilage in joint has degenerated and bone rubing to each other n cauing pain n grinding sound( i.e OA knee)..
because of injury there may be some ligaments or meniscus injury...
Next Steps

U may need MRI knee to rule out ligament /meniscus injury
but its better to consult Orthopaedic /knee surgeon near by to u after getting done x ray knee

Hi pain in the knee should not be ignored. It might be a meniscus tear or some other soft tissue injury. Grinding sound may be because of weakness over the quadriceps muscles which will improve with exercises
Next Steps
consider consulting a sports specialist and arthroscopic surgeon
