The lateral movement is what lets me know there's an issue that's most likely a ligament and non muscular. But since this whole thing has happened my leg muscles are very sore all the time whether I train them or not and I don't understand that one
there is probably a lot of compensating/protecting going on. some could be subconcious. I can fully relate to that though. every once in a while I'll take a step right into a small pothole I didn't see or something of the sort and my knee quickly reminds me there is no ACL, I get a very uncomfortable pop, a moment of paranoia while I rub it with my hand as thought that will fix it, and within a few minutes I forget about it. but there is some ptsd on those uncomfortable movements that makes me wonder if its just a ticking time bomb. but for my left knee, I think I blew out the ACL in 2006 or 2008 so its going on 20 years and I'm generally in pretty good shape. only the occasional bad step gets me. I can run and squat, and just know that in cold weather sometimes knee sleeves are nice even on a run.
