What are the symptoms of a torn meniscus?

What are the symptoms of a torn meniscus?This is on my left knee

My symptoms are:
*A knot-like swelling on the outside a little below my kneecap
*Pain when bending down on it
*The feeling as if I twisted my knee a little too far sometimes when I walk
*Not able to bend knee all the way easily
*Overall pain when walking

If this isn't a torn meniscus, what could it be? I know you can't diagnose over the internet, but any suggestions are extremely helpful.

Thank you
God bless
