A member asked:

I get random sharp pains in only one of my knees, what could this mean?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Needs evaluation: Sharp pains in the knee joint can be benign or may indicate something more serious like a torn meniscus (cartilage). This is not something you can diagnose on your own. Your doctor can find the answer by doing a history and detailed exam, and may order additional tests such as an MRI or x-rays.

Many reasons.: It could be tendinitis, arthritis, meniscus tear, or loose body. Get checked by an orthopedic specialist.
