Suggest Remedies For Soreness Below The Knee Cap
My knee is very sore in the soft spot below the knee cap...I am a very healthy active male in my forties. Basically a professional ski bum in Jackson , Wy. It seems to come and go, I have done the obvious RICE and try my best to be light on it,But work calls and I have to use it. I ve heard miniscus mentioned. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a meniscus tear. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day. Rest your knee. Use crutches to avoid any weight bearing on the joint.
If the symptoms continue I suggest you see an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
