Q: i sit crossed legged with feet under thighs. it feels comfortable for me but i have pain in my knee and thigh intermittently. what could be causing this? what would this do to my knee and thigh?. i never have this on left side?

: It has to be positional strain or stress on the right knee ligaments &amp; tendons as well as the the thigh musculature despite your feeling comfortable in that position. Proof would be symptoms resolving after a week or two after avoiding sitting cross legged.
