A member asked:
I got foot surgery on august 3rd. i had to elevate my foot for a week straight and now i have pain on the inside of my knee. possible explanations?

You never Know.: Could it be that in following the elevation direction, the knee, or for that matter, the entire leg was not supported. This may have put undue strain on the collateral knee ligaments and other supportive elements. Call your surgeon for advice on how to mitigate the problem.
