As agreed, I took Jason to our regular GP to seek his advice on his injured knee.
The GP did some simple check on his knee joint and then prescribed some painkiller and anti-inflammation medication for him. He also referred him to their specialist in the hospital but the earliest appointment was Tue morning.
Luckily, Jason was not in pain and no obvious swelling in the injured knee so we have no choice but to wait for Tue.
Also, he was having his semester break too.
He continue to wear the knee guard and use the walking stick so as not to aggravate the knee.
But in my thoughts, I was still troubled by the 'pop' sound that he heard when he injured the knee.
I started to searched the Internet for such knee injury but too much information and just not sure what to accept!
It was very frustrating knowing that something is not right but we have to wait for Tue appointment to know the real problem.

Friendly Street Soccer Match
About 2 months ago, Jason joined his friends for a friendly street soccer match organised by a church.
Sometime in the afternoon, I received a sms from Jason that he has hurt his knee and heard a 'pop' sound. I think my heart missed a beat as it is no good to hear a 'pop' sound but when I replied to him if he needed me to fetch him home and see a Dr, he said that he is ok and did not feel any pain and had applied ice on his knee. The good thing was that he has stopped playing immediately. He would find his way home.
Based on his reply, I was comforted a bit.
Jason came home after dinner with his knee bandaged and not in pain and no swelling, surprisingly.
He could walk but he said that he felt his knee wanting to glide or slip forward, a funny feeling.
I got him to wear one of my knee guards and also my old walking stick to help him walk.
We decided to see our GP to get an opinion and a referral to have a look too, if necessary.
It did not seem so bad but still, something did not seem right and the 'pop' sound still bothered me.
We have a friend who was walking and then heard a 'pop' sound and her knee was painful and swelled. Eventually, she had an operation to fix her knee.
