[|Human|] I have pain on the outside of my right knee when I am running especially. Sometimes while I am walking it feels fine but then the pain starts flaring up again.  I know its internal but if the area is touched it feels like there is a bruise there, though no bruise is visible. What could this be and should I get an MRI
[|AI|]  Hello, I think the origin of the pain might be the lateral meniscus tear which is on the outside part of the knee, and it may give you locking clicking of the knee. Usually, once the meniscus is torn it does not heal as it is a tissue without many blood vessels. If it has been for a long time and is bothering your daily activities then I would suggest you to get a knee MRI and see an orthopedic surgeon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
