How Can Severe Knee Pain Be Treated?

I have been have knee pain for the past month in my left leg. It is located in the bottom left area of the knee and when I touch it it feels soft. If something bumps it or if I bend my knees or squat a sharp pain occurs in that spot and makes me want to scream in agony! P.s. I am a mildy active 13 year old boy

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not squat or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
