Question 1

what would cause my knee to hurt and cause pain up and down my leg? i injured it this summer. a tight muscle in the hip was the cause then.

Accepted Answer

Hip: Probably bursitis, most common hip problem, but if there is sensory change or pins and needles feelings could be minor nerve injury from injury to a skinnerve in the side of the leg(meralgia paresthetica) or a true disc related nerve pain. Pressure on the injured thigh area will reproduce meralgia but not a disc problem and both should improve with rest, though a disc problem could be serious.

Question 2

i randomly get knee pain when lying down. my hip feels tight as if it has a pocket of gas that needs to be released. i have mild lower back pain on my right side.
the numbness and pain spreads is the worst when standing for a few minutes?

Accepted Answer

? radiculopathy: Your panoply of symptoms causes me to wonder about congenital lumbosacral stenosis, or even ankylosing spondylosis.  Since this appears complex, some blood tests and imaging studies are in order.  A neurological consult would be a good place to start.

Question 3

my hip injured already done i operation but it not successfully it causes same pain so what can i do please help me knee pain also more ?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Uncertain as to injury or procedure done. May need exam & imaging to check positioning or eval for infection, etc.

Question 4

hip/groin pain clicking noise. it feels like my muscle/tendon gets stuck when walking. also causing knee pain. painful to walk. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

A pulled muscle/ten-: Don, labral tear of the acetabulum comes to mind. See an orthopod to be properly diagnosed/treated. Might need an arthroscopic exam for dx/treatment.
If the mri/xrays are negative or not too helpful.
Hip lesions do cause pain in the knee area.
Good luck.

Question 5

i am experiencing  hip pain. the following also describe me: limited hip movement, knee pop, knee pain, and hip muscle weakness. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Hip pain: Please start w/a visit to your doctor.  He/she may refer you to a specialist if needed.  You may need a hip replacement or physical therapy.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

left side of perineum is sore/tight attimes. could a tight muscle on left leg cause this? my hip seems slightly to twisted/uneven wasn't b4, imbalanc?

Accepted Answer

Connected body parts: Good question! Yes, the various parts of your body certainly can and often do cause strains on other parts. The root of your problem may be in your hip, knee, or even your foot.  Chiropractors and some DO's (osteopathic doctors), particularly those who specialize in PM&amp;R (physical medicine &amp; rehabilitation) can evaluate you and provide treatment.

Question 7

so its my hip thats hurting when i lay on my side and the pain goes all the way down my leg and makes my knee hurt really bad. what exercises will help?

Accepted Answer

: Certainly not feasible to accurately diagnose what underlying hip problem is present, but a visit to an orthopedic surgeon to assess this would be a prudent approach.  For example, a labral tear could be the problem, but alternatively other mechanisms need to be ruled out and an appropriate treatment program be initiated, such as physical therapy.

Question 8

o my knee is killing me i haven't injured it or anything can't do nothing laying down hurts walking sitting knee cap back of knee pain pressure lock?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage problem: Without an injury, your symptoms are most likely due to cartilage damage (articular and/or meniscal).  I recommend an evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.

Question 9

knee pain on left side, under knee cap to the touch.  the knee is tight and hurts to bend. especially going down stairs. it is swollen above knee cap.

Accepted Answer

Go see PCP: Your symptoms of pain, swelling, tenderness, and decreased range of motion are suggestive of inflammation. It can be as benign as a tendinitis if you recently did some strenuous exercising, or more serious if you are having fevers (it can be sign of infection or gout).

Question 10

what are the causes of hip/knee pain when laying down?

Accepted Answer

Hip/Knee pain: There can be several causes of hip and knee pain ranging from:

1) injury or disease localized to the hip or knee joint and/or 
2) referred pain. The back can refer pain to the hip and knee region. The hip can refer pain to the knee region.

Therefore see your doctor for a through history and physical examnination and possible imaging evaluation to elucidate the source of your pain.
