Accepted Answer

Many things: If you have no pain walking, unless you walk very slowly, poor circulation seems unlikely.  Most of my patients experience more pain when they go to bed, what ever the condition happens to be.  I think that is because we are distracted during the day and we aggravate many conditions with daily activities, so it hurts more when we go to bed.  You may have arthritis, a pinched nerve, a torn meniscus

Question 7

knee pain squatting. slightly squishy + swollen. hurts swiveling not walking. feels stiff walking. no pain resting. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Meniscus tear?: Your symptoms of pain w/ squatting , twisting and turning associated w/ swelling may indicate a meniscus( cartilage) tear.The meniscus can tear as we get older w/minimal trauma as the water content diminishes and it becomes more 'brittle' and less 'elastic '. See your board certified orthopedic surgeon for examination. Best of luck!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Meniscal tear: There are many potential causes.  One of the more common is a degenerative meniscal tear.  Don't hesitate to be seen and thoroughly evaluated.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Labs: Start with your primary care doctor.
Get some labs to rule out arthritis causes of knee pain. See a specialist if not improved.

Question 10

hi, i have shoulder and knee pain. im highly active. knees hurt with exercise and when resting occasionally. shoulders hurt when i lift my arm. help?

Accepted Answer

Rest and PT: Your muscles are sore most likely from overuse They would benefit tremendously from balanced rest and physical therapy for conditioning. Lots of young athletes can benefit from balancing the muscles activated during exercise with those that are inhibited or weaker. PT with Core strengthening can help improve your technique. I recommend a sports medicine  Doctor for evaluation and diagnosis
