I Have Been Experiencing Pain Behind My Knee For The Past 4-5 Months
Question: I have been experiencing pain behind my knee for the past 4-5 months, particularly upon waking up in the morning and during exercise. The discomfort initially appeared a day after I engaged in a jumping workout. Despite taking a 20-day break when it first started, the issue persists. Can you provide guidance or assistance?
Brief Answer:
It could tear in tendone or ligament
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Jumping could have caused tear in tendon or ligament of knee joint. Rarely it may affect the local bone.
Strict rest to the joint for 4-6 weeks is needed and then some lessening of the pain may happen.
You may consult the orthopedic surgeon about confirming the diagnosis.
