Take nsaids: Did you twist your knee? If not, try Ibuprofen for the pain.If this pain does not go away, i suggest you see a doctor for evaluation.

Question 2

constant knee pain in left knee,  no injury, hard to walk, pain behind knee cap, knee gives out what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage/ligament: This could possibly be a either a meniscal (cartilage) injury or a torn ligament.  Any time one describes a knee "giving out" it sounds like a possible ligament injury, although with a ligament injury most likely you would have known there was an injury.  A meniscal tear can be tricky and a possibility.  Any time knee pain more than 2-3 weeks despite rest and not improving consider ortho visit.

Question 3

i have left knee pain. at the top of my shin/sometimes radiating into my actual knee. its noticeable the most when putting weight in my leg, or walking up stairs. i started noticing it about 6 months ago and it flared up recently. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Shin splints: Especially if you are a runner or run during athletics, this may be shin splints or a stress fracture. It also may be tendinitis (swelling of the tendon below your knee). If your knee gives out on you, or the pain is persistent, you should contact your doctor. Meanwhile rest, icing, and elevation may help. Ibuprofen may also help with the swelling if you have no medical contraindication.
