Why does my knee feel like its spreading my legs away from each other and hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee discomfort: Your symptom is nonspecific and more information is needed in order to advise you. Is there any history of injury, sprain or overuse? If not an inflammatory process may be present. Tenderness to the touch points to inflammation. If avoiding stress on the knee and taking anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve (naproxen) don't help, consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation.
