A member asked:
For about a year now i have had a lot of knee pain made worse by having my legs bent, especially sitting. it sometimes wakes me up. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chondromalacia: There are several causes for knee pain. It sounds as if it could be chondromalacia in your case. See an orthopedist in any event. Chondromalacia can improve significantly with proper exercises and the occasional use of anti-inflammatory meds.
