A member asked:

What would cause a sharp, jabbing pain on right side of right knee only felt when kneeling? it almost feels like broken glass sticking into it.

1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Internal derangement: This could be internal derangement like a torn meniscus. It could also be a sprained medial collateral ligament. A thorough history and exam will usually identify the most likely cause after which treatment can be initiated.
