What Causes Severe Pain In The Knee While Bending?

Hey...my friend tried to sit down but her leg started to hurt really bad. She said she doesnt know exactly where the pain is coming from, but i think it might be centering around the back of her knee?? Her lower jaw is quivering but she says shes not cold...the doctors office is closed. She sprayed some bio freeze on her right knee joint, front and back. She cant bend the knee front or back. Help me please....i dont know what to do.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Her pain is due to Arthritis. When bone is not able to take weight due to arthritis than it has to be shared by muscles. It causes pain in thigh and calf muscles.
Also some time it can be due to nerve compression. She can judge her self. If herr pain increases on walking and relieved with rest, it is suggestive of nerve related pain.
Arthritis pain is present even when you are taking rest.
I will suggest you following.
Hot water fomentation.
Volitran ointment
Tablet Pregabalin M one daily at night time .
Calcium and vitmin D3 daily.
Tablet Tramadol one daily.
Please consult your doctor before taking those medicines.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
