Hi. I have a history of knee pain from being in the military, but that was always joint pain. Tonight I went out to eat and when I sat at the table I was suddenly hit with a severe but dull, achy throbbing pain in my right knee. I’ve never felt a pain like this. 8 on a 1-10 scale in pain. It goes down to a 7 if I straighten my leg but relief is minimal. So far it has been 4 hours of this. It is NOT joint pain, muscle pain or a cartilage issue. This feels like either nerve or blood. I really dont wanna go to the hospital. Also it feels like its behind my patella. When I crossed my legs earlier the pain shot to a 10! When I tried to massage the area, all I got was more pain with no relief. Please help!!!
Hi Rashonda – There could be lots of things going on with your knees. Your best bet would be to at the very least get your knees checked out by a doctor so they can give you a diagnosis from their perspective. Based on that diagnosis, I would have a clear avenue as to which direction I would be able to point you in for the best help…
