What Causes Extreme Right-sided Pain Below Knee While Sitting?
Hi. I am a 52 year old female, 5'5", 130 lbs
I have been experiencing extreme pain right below my right knee when I stand from a sitting position. It takes a little bit to get moving,then the pain goes away. I walk regularly. There is no swelling or redness on or around the knee. I do have osteoporosis. I have been taking Advil. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. Should I be concerned? Thank you

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic
After going through your query I think You are suffering from early osteoarthritis of right knee joint. You need further investigation by x ray of both knee joints in standing position. Analgesics such as diclofenac slow release tablets is helpful in pain relief. Diacerinre and glucosmine sulfate protect cartilage from breakdown and help in cartilage regeneration. Quadriceps exercises is started after pain relief. Serum vitamin D test is advised and if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. You can discuss with your treating doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
