What Causes Pain In The Leg After Putting Pressure On The Knee?
hi, i have had a problem with my knee for three years now. It gets to a point where when i put pressure its shooting pains up my leg. I am young (16) and dont know what would cause this? I was forced to quit my track team due to the pain. My leg will have serious pain but sometimes there will not be bruising and it tends not to swell. Is there any way you can help me?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This may be caused by Bakers cyst or patella instability nad he should do knee xrays and ultrasound to rule these out. He should also check for arhritis or rheumatoid disordes since it is unusual fos such young people to have pain in knees.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health. Regards
