Itchy Sensation Behind Or Inside Knee But Cant Scratch. How To Overcome This?

Hi, I am 16 years old and i have an itchy sensation behind my knee cap or inside my knee that I can't scratch, the only thing that helps is when I kick as hard as I can several times. Iv'e told my provider but he says he doesn't know what to tell me and to just do whatever helps. I would appreciate it if you could help.

Hello,
In my opinion this may be due to .
1 Worm infestation , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of stool as well blood .
2 Allergy , this is most common cause due to elevation of eosinophils in the blood.Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for total eosinophils count .
3 Rheumatoid arthritis low grade sometimes cause such type of feelings in the knee joint . Diagnosis can be confirmed by Rheumatic Factor examination.
In my opinion consult a physician and take a treatment for allergy.
Good luck. Dr. HET
