What Causes Pain And Spasms In The Knees?
My knee feels as if it has rubber bands in it. It becomes painful for quick moments sometimes. It also spasms to the point my entire lower leg jerks at times. I almost collapsed once because it suddenly became weak but that is the only time it did that. What could be causing this?

Hello,
Pain in the knee and spasms could be the reason to have wear and tear in the knee joint. If there is no history of trauma then it could be osteoarthritis or joint related inflammatory conditions. Kindly take opinion from orthopedician for further evaluation. Better to take rest, hot fomentation, and wear knee socks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
