Has anyone heard of, or experienced, pain in the back of the knee (mine is at about 7:00) from a meniscus tear? I injured my knee about 4 months ago, and since then if I move or twist my knee a certain way, I’ll get a “pop†in the back of my knee and I’ll have to shift my knee again to ‘unlock’ it. I occasionally get pain from running and biking but not enough to make me stop. Any clues or advice, other than to “man up†or “grow a pair?â€
Get an MRI. I had a torn meniscus, discovered thru the MRI. Had surgery a few months ago and am now running without pain.
Wear a brace so it doesn't turn

Get an MRI. I "grew a massive pair" and continued to power through a torn ACL that had three meniscus tears by the time I finally caved in to my wife and saw my primary care provider, was referred to a specialist, went through the MRI and finally had surgery. "Growing a pair" was the dumbest thing I ever did, get your knee checked out.
I had similar pain (chronic, not bad enough to stop, back, knee loudly clicking though it didn't lock) and suspected meniscal tear. Turned out to be bursitis. Either way you need to see someone to get diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks, all. I've got an appointment but not until 10-7. We'll see what happens.
Do not push it if you have pain. Pain is a sign that something is wrong. Do easy training only. Let the knee rest and see if there is an improvment. A lot of injuries and surgeries could have been prevented if people didn't push it when having a pain, that could have gone after a few days. However noise from the knee is not always an indication that something is wrong with it, pain is, but noise not always. Some knee noses come because the meniscus is not intact anymore and has tiny bumps that while touching the other meniscus make noise. So make a difference between noise and pain. I had pain in the back of the knee for two monthes that started without any specific incident. So I stopped with the intervals and mainly did easy running and uphills a little bit.
