A member asked:

My knee really hurts. i didn't do anything to hurt it. last night it hurt so bad like a mix between growing pains and i broke my knee. i'm 17 so.

Need to be examained: It can be arthritis due to infection or other reasons , do you have swelling? Can you pinpoint which side of your knee is painful ? You need to see a doctor. There are many causes, and it is difficult to pinpoint a diagnosis without proper history and examination.
