What Causes Pain On The Outer Side Of The Knee With General Weakness?
My son had pain and weakness in his legs a few years back and was hospitalized for just a couple of days and was diagnosed with something low in his blood ...like his kps or skp, I can t remember! But he is having the same symptoms again..pain and tenderness in the sides of his knees and even more pain in his shins with weakness and he is now 14. I can t remember for the life of me what it was he was diagnosed with though.

hello. Maybe it was his ESR and CPK which would just show if inflammation is present and its nonspecific. please look for a rheumatologist or immunologist to have his blood checked again. give him only paracetamol or acetaminophen for the pain so as to limit any kind of bleeding.
