Suggest Treatment For Sharp Stabbing Pain In The Knee

I am experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in the medial area of my L knee. It feels weak when I step, like it s going to give out, and is tender to touch. I didn t have specific injury but have been doing a lot of walking on concrete. I have also tried different shoes but the pain remains. What could this be?

your symptoms suggests that you are suffering from hamstring spasm and pes-anserine bursitis.it occurs due to excessive strain on knee that may be due to your walking on hard concrete surface.
Rest,icing local application of non irritant analgesic gel , analgesic such as ibuprofen and muscle relaxant will give instantly relief. when pain decreases ,start hamstring stretching exercises to strengthen hamstring muscles.
Hope this helps.
