knee pains

[mbag012]

i did some badass speed squats at 80% of my max because im just that badass, but it turns out my knees arent as badass as me because theyre starting to hurt. the pain feels like a bone failure? bone fracture? cartilage trouble? torn ligament? its a sharp kind of pain that doesnt feel very good. whenever i flex my knees i hear popping noises. the pain is on the outside of my patella. it may be because my calf bones are curved outwards.

should i visit a doctor or should i visit a physio? what are some rehab work i can undertake in the meantime?

Going to a doctor is always a good idea when there has been an injury. We may be able to help diagnose and make recommendations, but without an x-ray and hands on check, it could lead to trouble. And definitely don't try to work through it. Go to the doctor and let us know what he says.

specifically the doctor or the physiotherapist?

Whoever is going to give you x-rays and a thorough inspection.
