What Does Weakness And Pain In The Right Knee Indicate?

Hi. My right knee just quits while I m walking and it hurts in the back of the knee. Pain Does not stay long but I never know when it is going to happen. I can tell it happens most after I get up in the morning or after I have my leg stretched for a long period of time. Left knee seems fine.

In all probability you are having a meniscal injury of the knee or a ligament injury. You could have injured the knee in a fall. Sometimes meniscal injury can occur due to minor trauma. It would be good if you could get an MRI of the knee to diagnose the problem. Please do consult an Orthopedic surgeon for management.
