What Causes Pain To The Inner Side Of Knee?

I have a knee pain to the inner side of my knee. It is painful at night when it touches the bed and is getting worse. It has been coming on gradually and getting worse over the last year. I walk a lot but this is now restricted to much shorter distances before I have to stop with the knee pain. I am 74 and active and currently expecting an operation to my foot (a scarf osteotomy) and I also have arthritis in my hands which has deformed the fingers. Thank you.

Hello,You have an osteoarthritis of the knee joint with has worn off the cartilage on the inner side of the joint and hence the pain. Continue waling even if after the scarf get back to activity as soon as your doctor will allow you.
Joints with OA need to be kept moving and the muscles around the joint should be strengthened by regular exercise.Water exercises will be easier and more relaxing.
Continue this method and go on with it till the pains become more severe when a joint replacement surgery can be considered.
