My advice: read physical examination book. The good one is Bates`Guide to physical examination. You`ll have answers on all your questions.

Unless you suspect pain due to an inflamatory illness such as arthritis I would do Mc Murray but not drawer. Drawer would be for known trauma. I hope I am right.
