Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Cancer is statistically extremely unlikely.  Much more likely at your age would be conditions such as chondromalacia (wear and tear of the kneecap cartilage) or possibly cartilage wear and tear within the knee joint itself.  I would recommend seeing a physician for evaluation since symptoms have been present for a month.

i have knee pain while walking, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor.: The first step in helping any problem is to know what the problem is.  This symptom could be a mechanical problem, structural problem in the knee, a sign of arthritis, a problem with your foot or ankle, muscle weakness in the quadriceps muscle, or a referred pain from another area.  At your age the most likely cause would be a prior injury, quadriceps muscle weakness, or early osteoarthritis.
