Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness in your knee. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like diabetes mellitus , peripheral neuropathy , raynaud's disease , peripheral vascular disease , buerger's disease , nerve compression or injury . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or physical examination by checking the movement . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and nerve supplement . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy or surgery in severe damage . For now apply warm compresses thrice day and give your knee proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
