What Causes Pain In Knee When I Stand Up?

Hi there. I am currently experiencing knee pain when I stand from a crouching or squatting position. This has been for the last week or so. It has slowly gotten more painful with each time. I workout a lot, doing a lot of lunges, squats, jumps etc. However, did not notice the pain while working out initially, I actually first noticed the pain when sitting on the couch with my knee bent up. Now it hurts every time I stand up from a bent position. I thought the pain would go away so I avoided strenuous leg activities at the gym for a couple of days, but after attempting a box jump, the pain in my leg was intense as I pushed myself back up from the bent position. I now experience the pain everytime I stand up from a crouching/squat position. Walking is fine, and at the moment going up stairs is fine. Any ideas on treatment? I would like to get back into training if I can

Hello,

The following are few probable causes of your knee pain:
1) Meniscal tear
2) Collateral ligament injury
3) Patellar fracture
4) Tendonitis
5) Bursitis

You need a thorough clinical examination of knee joint and the following investigations:
- X ray knee joint
- MRI knee joint if necessary

For temporary pain relief, you can use NSAIDs like ibuprofen or Naproxen daily twice . If you have kidney disease, you shouldn't take NSAIDs. Then you can take opioids like Hydrocodone, Oxycodone and Tramadol daily twice.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
