Severe Pain On The Knee Cap While Stretching, Tightness In The Calf Muscle. Vicodin Does Not Help
A few weeks ago I went to stretch my legs and it felt like something was pulling in my left leg and trying to go over my knee cap and I had severe pain, now my pain doesn t stop and goes all the way down to my ankle. My calf muscle feels tight and tightens up even more when I walk. I had surgery on it back in 95 ( I had a placa and water). What could be going on and should I see a doctor. It keeps me up at night. I have Vicodin that I take for a shoulder injury that I have and that doesn t help the pain in my knee. Thanks

Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
you seem to be having a knee ligament or meniscal (buffer ring) injury.
does your knee click on bending/ straightening?
I think you should see your ortho doc and get evaluated.
do not put stress on the afftected leg. take simple painkillers (like t. paracetamol 3 times a day till the )
hope to have satisfied you. get well and keep posted.
