How Can sharp Shooting Knee Pain Be Treated?

I bet you wont be able to answer this one!!! In September I was kneeling in my daughters room and I got a sharp excruciating pain in my right knee. I stood up and it was fine. Over the next few months this happened every time I was kneeling, any surface. I have seed our md, she had no idea what it was, but took xrays and it looked fine. I saw an orthopedist and she told me to start an exercise program, I exercise 5 days a week. I spoke with a chiropractor and he said my quads could be tight. I was at the gym yesterday and was stretching and accidentally kneeled on that knee and the pain was horrible. And when I stood up it was fine, although now in that spot but on the side it feels a little numb....

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be due to a minor ligament or tendon involvement.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.

You can also apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
