Suggest Treatment For Occasional Shooting Pain In The Knee
My husband describes a sliver-like pain on his knee. Occasionally it feels like it s bleeding, but there s no blood visible. He also describes the pain as what it feels when you have an ingrown hair. He has not injured his knee and there are no visible symptoms. He can apply pressure to the knee with no discomfort, however feels the pain when his pants rub on it as well as when he s sleeping.
