Suggest Remedy For Radiating Pain In Knee

I am having pain in my right knee on the left side of my knee cap. The pain radiates down my leg and makes it feel numb. What could be causing this? Started hurting last night when I went to walk up my stairs. Have had pain in the same spot before but doesn t normally last more then a few hours and have never had the numbness with it.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

Since the pain radiates from left side of knee cap in right knee down, I feel you need to get a thorough neuromuscular assessment done. Which will help us think further what can be the cause. As there is numbness in the area involved and now radiating down, until the understanding of the nerve behavioral pattern a diagnosis cannot be made.

Usually this kind of pain along with numbness is due pinched nerve. For which with simple medicine and physical therapy patient respond well.
