What Causes Pain Around The Knees?
Yes please. I have an unfamiliar feeling and some pain for about 3 months. On my right leg close to the knee on the outer side. It is like a aticky foil underneath the skin. X ray of bones shows no break or dislocation. Doppler test were ok for blood circulation. Thank you . Doron

Hello,
Pain around the knees can be due to sprain/strain, bad posture, overuse or improper stretching of the muscles, torn ligaments, tendinitis. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief, you can also use sprays (Volini) to get rid of pain. Other causes can be developed pathology for osteoarthritis, RA, neuropathy, gout.
Consult a PCP, you may need physical therapy, medications, injections and get CBC, Urinalysis, screening tests for RA and Osteoarthritis done. Get evaluated, get treated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
