But squat on the balls of my feet and I get a sharp pain on the back of the knee at the top of the calf as I lower into the squat. Once resting on the balls of my feet, there then is a very mild "pain" in what feels like deep inside the knee, like the resting on the balls of the my feet is pulling something within the knee joint. I also experience a crunching sound within the knee as I squat.

I had thought maybe I had sprained my ACL, now I am wondering if this is a meniscus tear? Or maybe knee arthritis I developed? Anyone know what the problem could be?

Don't squat.

Eat your rice balls standing up.
