hurt knee ???i dove head-first on the grass (for a sport) and landed on my left knee on the left side of my patella & that area immediately started to hurt...i stretched it out and it felt fine, and we jogged a lap around the field and it was fine while i was running....then we did a sudden stop and it hurt really bad, like a shooting pain to the left of my patella to the point i was basically crying....same spot where i hurt it 5 mins previously....
also, a week before i did the above ^^ i was twisting my knee just to stretch it out (hard to explain) and i heard something kinda pop & felt a slight pull (no pain) in that same area...
i've been RICE 'ing it all day...5 mins ago i just straightened it out and it made a crunching feeling at the top-outside of my knee and hurt realllllly bad...WTH!??! theres no swelling & doesnt hurt to the touch, just straightening it
what could be wrong? i think im going to the doctor this week....

You may have torn meniscus, (Cartilage on the side of the knee) which can only be detected through an MRI, (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) not an XRAY. I had the same thing, it is very painful and only gets worse if you don't have the microscopic surgery to repair it. It's a relatively simple procedure and can be done in a day sending you back to your home. I had the surgery as well, but my knee problems are much more extensive than a torn meniscus.

Sounds like it could be torn meniscus. Be sure to see your Doctor. An MRI will tell for sure. It's fixable.
