Suggest Treatment For Left Knee Pain

The outside of my left knee is very sensitive to certain pressures put on it. First noticed it about 6 weeks ago. When I kneeled down to look under something the pain was severe on that side of my knee. I had to immediately take the pressure off. Since then I ve bumped it against a door on the inside of my car and the pain was incredible. Last night in the tub I barely touched the side of the tub with my knee and thought it was going to send me through the roof. Can t put any pressure on that knee when I want to crawl across the floor to play with my dog or any pressure in bed.
