Knee pain : I would need more specifics description of the problem and probably a hands-on exam of your knee. Possibly an X-ray or MRI, depending on the findings of the initial exam. Please schedule a visit with a PM&R doctor or orthpedist for further evaluation and possible referral for physical therapy.
