Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Knee

Hi, I am having severe pain in my right knee. I can barely bear any weight on my knee, nor can I straighten it. I heard a pop initially but not like a tear I don t think. It hurts on the bottom left side under my knee cap. It feels like bone on bone when I walk.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
How old are you?
What is your gender?
Are you suffering from any kind of arthritis?
It could be arthritis, trauma to the knee joint or even erosion of bone depending on your age and coexisting diseases. It will need a thorough physical examination and probably Xray of the knee joint to find out the correct diagnosis.
For now apply hot compress to the area for pain relief and rest for at least a week. If the condition worsens or persists, please get it checked by a doctor.
Take care.
