There is probably a bunch of people skipping proper diagnosis and moving on with a broken_something too. That does not mean it is a great idea.
Braces and supports are ok in some situations, but many orthopedists will wanr you that long term use may decrease the muscle mass of the place you apply themon. They usually recommend you to build muscle around the place that needs bracing rather than using orthopedia items.

Something similar happened to me about 20 years ago, except I was dirving a motorized pallet jack, and I hit a big crack in a warehouse floor.
that knee. They did an MRI, claimed they couldn't see much, and decided to scope it. They found that my meniscus was torn, so they stiched it up. I was only off my knee for a few days, but it took 8 weeks before I was cleared to go back to work with no restrictions.
That same knee was scoped when I was in 5th grade, as I was unable to straighten it out completely for some reason. Not due to any specific injury. That time, they just had me stay off of it for 6 weeks. It was in late February. In Wisconsin, in the 1980s. Crutches + ice don't mix, so I was basically holed up in school during recess.
The other knee I blew out in my 3rd football game in 9th grade. That ended my football career. That was also a meniscul tear.
nowdays, occasionally my knees will kind of sieze up and hurt. If I take it easy, they feel better after a few days and all is well for a couple months until it happens again.
boy you sound like you just have genetically bad knees.
that's how it was before i had the pop. so be careful. it was the same with my coworker. i suggest getting an elastic knee brace and using it until you are better.
I do have a couple elastic knee braces Multiple orthipedic doctors have told me to wear them any time I'm doing anything more than standing or walking.
