What Causes Knee Pain At A Particular Spot?
Question: Hello Doctor,
I was just thinking of messaging you and then your message pop-up's today morning. Thank you for your concern.
The knee pain at a particular spot increases when some physical activity is done. I had been to a 10K last Sunday i.e XXXXXXX 08, 2014 with knee support. I was able to complete it with out any problem. After few hours of the race, I could sense a slight sensational pain. It is still continuing now. This pain is not present in the other leg. I'm not sure if this is a muscle pain.
Thank you for answering my questions.
Regards,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
minor capsular inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing again.
The mild pain and sensations that you can feel is likely to be due to stress related minor capsular inflammation or a decrease in the joint lubricants.
The mild inflammation of the knee after some activity mostly subsides by taking antiinflammatory agents and mild pain killers like ibuprofen. In some cases for acute problem muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside are needed after consulting with your orthopaedician.
If still there is no relief then oral steroids and oral lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin are given. Injections - intra- articular are the last options to be considered if all the above measures fail.
In the meanwhile, for symptomatic relief hot compresses to your knee will be useful pain relieving measure. You may apply a local analgesic gel on that area and start with joint lubricant supplements.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
