Brief Answer: Soft tissue injury Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Since there is pain only on bending the knee with no pain on weight bearing and walking, a bone injury is not likely in this case. The mild discomfort and the internal pain that you are feeling is likely to be due to a mild soft tissue injury in the area. You can help the improvement by- 1. Avoid any strenuous knee exercises, lifting weights, climbing stairs, cycling, etc. 2. Take a mild pain killer like acetaminophen every 8 hourly. 3. Do a hot fomentation in the area twice daily. 4. You can apply a local analgesic gel like Volini also. 5. Use an elastic knee brace for better knee support while walking. Do consult an Orthopedician for a physical examination and stronger prescription medicines in case there is swelling, persistent pain and difficulty in walking. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
