Why is it that the bone under my knee hurt?

Question

It's only from my left leg ... the pain sucks... it comes and goes...
what can it be?

Answer 1

many women have what is known as "Tracking disorder".

There are muscles that attach all over your knee. To the left, to the right, on top, below, etc.

If one or more of the muscles is too tight, it will cause grinding and "arthritic pain" behind the kneecap (retropetallar pain).

Most women who have a tracking disorder have it in their Iliotibial band. Run your thumb up and down the outside part of your upper thigh with a good amount of force. Is that painful?

See your doctor of chiropractic to diagnose you. You might have something as simple as "iliotibial band contracture" (ITB syndrome). This is easilly remedied.

Answer 2

It could be a few things.
You may have inflamed the bursa (fluid sac in the joint) causing Bursitis.

You may have a muscle imbalance in the knee causing the knee cap to be pulled to one side. This results in the back of the knee cap to dry out and become rough (so to speak) so every time you bend your leg it irritates the joint and underlying structures. You can tell if this is the case by answering the following:
-Does it hurt more when you bend you leg more?
-If you were to sit against a wall with your knees bent at 90 degrees does the pain flair up? Also, this condition (referred to as petella femoral syndrom or condromalasia patella) is very common in women with wide hip structures and flat arches.

Lastly, if you had a hard fall on your knee you may have bruised the joint which can cause the pain.

If you haven't had any falls/injury that may account for the pain - and it doesn't go away/get better in about 2 weeks it would be worth seeking medical attention.

Hope this answers your question or at least gives some ideas as to what to look for.

Answer 3

there's a condition referred to as chondromalacia, it somewhat is positioned on on the backside of the knee cap (patela). inspite of the indisputable fact that it somewhat is many times from positioned on and/or overuse. you in all probability only have a bruised or chipped knee cap and/or the bones below (head of tibia and/or femur). Ice is powerful. Ice it down generally with ice %. on for 5-10 min and rancid for 2-3 min (and repeat). relax it as much as you may. no count number if it continues to be bothering you after some days, pass see a rfile. (would not sound extreme inspite of the indisputable fact that while you're nevertheless walking on it) no count number if it fairly is a bruised bone there is not any longer plenty which could be performed approximately it besides. no count number if it fairly is a cartilage concern, you may get it scoped to make effective that a torn or loose piece of cartilage would not get caught the place that's not meant to be (and intrude with functionality of the knee) yet that sounds fairly no longer likely in accordance on your description.

I had severe knee pain also, and I went to my Dr. then had an MRI of my knee, and I had torn my cartilage, or what they call , a ,meniscus tear, and now I have to go in for arthroscopic surgery. Really, get that knee checked out, so you will not have to guess what the problem is. Tests are good and they are easy, and once you see what the problem is , you can decide what to do. good luck.....Also there is a website www.kneeguru.com, that has a lot of good information, and I had a Dr. e-mail from this site.Excellent information.
