What Causes Severe Pain Upon Bending The Knees?
Hello, It can be due to the early stage of arthritis. As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
