Knee Pain, Mostly While Extending, Bending Legs, Bruise, Painful. Suggestions?
my knee started to hurt yesterday just out of the blue. No injuries, bumps or falls of any kind. In fact I was still sitting down when I noticed the pain. It does not really hurt so much when I walk, mostly when I extend my leg. It also hurst when I touch around my knee. If feels somewhat like a bruise. The pain was worse yesterday than today but still very painful. The pain is worse when i bend my knee to sit or when I stand. What could this be?
