What Causes Severe Pain In The Knee?
My sons knee has been bothering him for two days. He does not remember an acute injury. It is on the medial side of his right knee. No pain at rest just when up and about. He describes his discomfort as a ruberband or a muscle stretching. I m thinking a strain of his MCL or possibly his hamstring (he has tight hamstrings) when should I take him to see the doctor? Started him on ice and Ibprophen.
