A member asked:
I feel a stabing pain just below the knee cap at the outer side while walking, is it related to oa. thank's?

No way to tell: Without seeing you and examining your knee there is no way to make that determination, but the stabbing pain in that area is very atypical of what might be expected if this were due to osteoarthritis. See an orthopedist and have this evaluated. Good luck.
