Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Injury? History?: You might try an OTC elastic knee brace, if that relieves it, good. But if not or if it happens again, an exam and follow through on treatment plans are a good idea. Movement is so important as we get older, you want to optimize your body now! Best wishes!
