What Causes Throbbing Sensation In Patella?
Hello, Doctor. For the past 4 months, I have had this throbbing sensation around my patella. It may last for 20-30 seconds at a time, and occur once every 2-4 hours. There is no pain. The sensation is similar to a heartbeat. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hello,
I think this is something that you do not need to be concerned about. I would be concerned if you had one of these signs: pain, swelling, limitation of motions, and redness of the skin. This might be a subjective sign that I would not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
