Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Just within the past few days I have been having this sharp pain over my left knee cap.It only happens when I am crossing my left leg.It happens when I am raising my left leg and it is beginning to bend and move up and over the right leg.Usually when putting sock on left foot.If I do it slow I can cross it with minimal pain.I am a 45 year old male muscular build.
You may be having a sprained knee or a knee joint tendinitis. I would suggest you to apply a local pain relieving balm or gel and give hot fomentation for a few days. This will relieve the pain. Also avoid squatting and climbing stairs for a few days. If these symptoms recur then consult a physiotherapist for knee muscle strengthening exercises.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
