What Is The Pain When I Bend My Knee?
When I bend my knee there is a burning and almost like a ligament tearing kind of pain on the outer side of my knee. If I bend it whith my hands it does not hurt, it only hurts when I use my legs to do so. The skin on top of where the pain usually occurs is also a little sensitive.

Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed either to musculo-skeletal injury or inflammation of the joint- Osteoarthritis.
X ray of the knee joint will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
