Suggest Remedy For Pain And Stiffness In Knees

I notice pain and discomfort while sleeping on one side too long. Sometimes the pain above my knee and behind my knee stiffen and it is hard to bend my leg when walking. I have noticed when I ice my lower back it helps with the pain and I rub icy hot on the area that is uncomfortable. Ive never been to the doctor for this.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soft lump on inner butt cheek . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sprains and strains , tendinitis , arthritis , gout, inflamed bursae or chondromalacia I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray , CT scan , and physical examination by asking you to do certain movements . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , vitamin supplements along with stretching exercises and physical therapy . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , apply warm compresses on them and reduce your weight if your are overweight .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
