See an Orthopod to -: get Diagnosed and treated. You might have a Meniscal tear or chondral lesion. Sitting crosslegged involves twisting of the knee. an exam by an Orthopod and a MRI would be enough to reach a dx, and to start treatment. These would be the commonest causes and I am sure a thorough history, exam and investigations would help to diagnose. Good Luck.

Diagnosed with chondromalacia patella 10 years ago. After straining my back, my knee has been acting up. It's popping under the kneecap when I walk, hurts to squat and bottom of kneecap hurts when sitting. What can I do for this flare up?

I am experiencing knee pain (above patella) in certain positions. I can walk pain free but it is painful getting up from a squat or when I extend my leg when sitting. There is no swelling or heat. ?

Right acute knee pain, burning and bruise- like feeling. Whole kneecap is worse, along its bottom. Stairs are very difficult to use, and it hurts any time i walk. Had a negative x- ray.

Stiff knee with painful popping under kneecap and bottom. The more I walk the worse it gets. Now it feels hot and causes me to limp. It burns and sharp pain with squatting. My legs does shake with squatting as well. What could this be? Pull back knee?
