Can A Knee Injury Cause Twitching Sensation In Knee?
I started having twitching on the side of my knee during the night and it has continued today. It is not happening continuously but is happening very often. I injured my knee about one month ago. It has hurt when I stand too much, walk for too long or go up and down stairs. Could the twitching be related to this?

Brief Answer:
Needs x-ray knee and require knee brace or cast for 4 weeks and bed rest.
Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.
Based on what you said, it is recommended to get an x-ray first first to rule out fracture. After excluding fracture, you will most likely need a knee brace or cast for atleast 4 weeks. MRI scan will only be required if your condition doesn't improve as ligament tear can be a cause but not required at this stage.
You may take tab. naproxen 20mg once a day for your pain. Best rest and decreased movement of your affected knee will drastically improve your condition.
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.
Regards!
