Does my left knee look dislocated?
I was doing a backward lunge when I lost my balance and almost felt the bone in my knee move and got a very bad jerk. I got up, it felt fine, I continued with my workout, but the next day my knee had begun to swell up. I've attached an image for reference. It's swelling up and it's not binding while walking. I've been using an ice pack but the swelling does not seem to go down neither is anything reducing the pain.
