What Causes Severe Pain In Knee Along With Cramped Ankle Muscle?

My pain is behind my knee and it is painful when I get up from sitting or to sit down. It is in both legs. The left6 knee pain extends down my leg and the lower part - about 5-6 above ankle is a cramped muscle also. I have exercises from the therapist, but doesn t seem to relieve the pain. It is worse also when I lie down in bed for about an hour. Help me

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are suggested to continue doing physical exercises under a Physiotherapist. Severe pain in knee associated with pain radiating to the ankle is indicative of OA, RA, sciatica, tendonitis, torn meniscus, etc. Medical conditions like gout and infections also can cause knee pain. Physical therapy and knee braces effectively relieve knee pain. Massage therapy and NSAIDS work well. Get clinically examined by a GP. Get all investigations(blood workouts, imaging tests) done & treated at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
