A member asked:
I am getting sharp pains in my knee what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impossible to say: The causes of knee pain are many. It is impossible to offer specifics without being able to examine the knee and order appropriate imaging studies. It is amazing to me how someone can expect a diagnosis over the internet with a history that is so vague and nonspecific.
