Any advice on what I should do?R.I.C.E. as best as possible & get physio advice. Edit: Get your technique checked too.

With weight?

4 sets of 25 sounds a lot.

Knees should only be a hinge joint, but they can be loaded with a twisting force and the ligaments resist this... To a point
Make sure your feet point inline with your thighs when squatting.

After some advice,
Was recommended to start doing squats to help prevent possible injury and build up leg strength.
I just did 4 sets of 25 and my left knee was really starting to hurt, like a sharp, shooting pain. This happened the last time I tried squats, about a year ago, and the reason I shelved squats.
Any advice on what I should do? Avoid them? Try something else?
