A member asked:
I have a pulling sensation in my kneecap, what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Most likely, you've had an injury resulting in improper tracking of your kneecap within your knee joint. Rest should help the condition. If it doesen't improve after a couple of weeks, or if it worsens, see your family doctor.
