What Causes Feeling Of Hole In The Middle Of The Knee?

Hello, I have been a runner for 4 years now, I usually run 5 km 3 times a week, usually 7 months a year because I don t run in winter. Lately I have been having this feeling in my left knee, it is not a pain but I feel like I have a little hole in the middle of the knee and I feel like tickles in the same spot. I feel this sometimes while I m walking and when I start running, since it is not a pain I have been running as usual and I have had no further pain. Should I worrie? Thanks.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I do not think that you need to worry about this unless there is pain or restriction of knee movement. Usually this type of feeling can occur following trauma or arthritis but as you are saying than you are not having any pain so I do not think that it can be cause by some disease. If you are very anxious than you can get a knee. X-ray and this will confirm if there is any abnormality is present.
I would also recommend you to take regular calcium and B complex as some time muscles and bone weakness can cause such feeling,
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup question is there.
thanks
