A member asked:

Recently increase complain of right knee 'soreness' and 'weak' feeling. previous fall onto this knee about one and a half year ago but no fracture. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider MRI: If your knee pain is severe, you might consider asking for an MRI. Although you do not have a fracture on xray, you may have an injury to a ligament, meniscus, or muscle. You would be able to get more information from an MRI or consultation from an Orthopedist.
