What Does Pain In The Right Knee Indicate?
Have had pain in my right knee for a month. It is hard to walk on. I have not fallen nor twisted my knee. I cannot stand on both legs for more than a minute or so, if I do the pain in my right knee increases. Two days ago a pain shot thru my calf like I had pulled the muscles there. Now when I walk my calf muscles hurt also. I have shooting pain from knee down and sometimes on my thighs. I am a 64 year old male, diabetic ( no insulin) and some high blood pressure (under control).
