Twisted my knee 5 years ago and haven’t been able to explain the pain. This is exactly how it feels

I just injured my LCL this past saturday at a jiu jitsu tournament and this video gave me a ton of peace of mind that my injury isnt extreme and wont need surgery

I'm 70 and suffered an LCL sprain last year. The previous week (I think), I had a sharp pain in the outer side of my hamstring while doing sled pulls. I may have been taking too long a step or moving too quickly. The pain passed quickly but the following week, the LCL suddenly went. My GP had just retired so I went to Urgent Care. The X-Ray result: "No fracture or dislocation is identified. Minimal degenerative changes of the medial compartment. No significant joint effusion. The soft tissue is unremarkable." The nurse even said I was unusually free of arthritis for a man my age. I was prescribed physical therapy and continue to do rehab exercises since being released. Mostly, I have full use but occasionally, the knee gets a bit of slop and there is a bit of pain. I reset the knee by sitting on my haunches with my hand inserted at the back of the knee (this was not prescribed, just something I picked up over the years). Anyway, I weightlift 3 times a week. Am I pushing my luck, especially with squats and deadlifts? I have an excellent trainer who watches me like a hawk.
