It's everytime I bend my legs and keep them there for a while, once I stretch them out, my left knee starts hurting, it feels like this really intense muscle cramp.. but it isn't since I've been having it for about 3 weeks now. I don't remember hurting myself that bad.. Any ideas as what it could be? I don't have insurance for now so I can't go to a doctor.

Your knee pain could be due to several reasons like overexertion,muscle pain,arthritis,bursitis,etc. I found good information on knee pain and home remedies for knee pain at http://tinyurl.com/z5vx5

Try paying close attention to the things you do when you're on your feet. I had a hip pain and thought, "Arthritis? At my age?" But it wasn't. I noticed that when I hopped into the car, I kept my left foot planted on the ground and twisted into the car. It was what that twisting did to my hip. So if I don't do that (kind of like breaking a bad habit) I have no problem. Other than that, see if you can exercise/stretch it gently. And there's some truth to the old gag: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Well, don't do that then."

pour luke warm water (mixed with salt) upon it 3 times a day .. cover it by a towel or blanket after u r done.... spare sometime for muscular exercise.. sit with your leg stretched on the floor ..pull the knee up and release ..do it 20 times per session.

i suffer from the same thing in my right knee but mine was due to an infection from a venemous spider bite. It really sucks sometimes when trying to straighten it... but try this though... try straighten it out to the side... it should help... and if you find any more info on it, please let me know too on systemofadylan@yahoo.com

It is due to many reasons. Whatever may it be, the only treatment is acupuncture. You may not like it but there is no medicine to treat it so don't be afraid of.
