What Causes Intermittent And Uncomfortable Pulse In Knee?
I have an intermittent and uncomfortable pulse that occurs on the front of my knee. When it is active, The pulse lasts for hours and makes it very difficult to sleep. It typically begins the day after I watch my infant nephew when I am up and down all day. It hasn t always been this way, just the last 3-4 months. Any ideas?

Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
This is due to twitching of muscles around the knee. Muscle twitching may happen due to excessive use or many a times without any reason.
You need not do anything as it will go away with out any problem. You can take muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone tablet if it is very uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's a benign condition and nothing to worry about.
Hope this will be helpful.
