What Causes Intense Pain Around The Knee While Standing?
Within the past few days, I have been doing an unusual amount of stooping down, lifting heavy objectwhile bending knees carefully, started taking mobic two days ago, and recently when I attempt to get up from laying down position, the pain is in the side/middle. Started applying ice and wondered if there was anything else I could do to alleviate the pain.

Hello,
Additional trial with local application of heating pad, ointment or spray containing diclofenac with menthol will give best results. Later on an X-ray of the knee joint is mandatory as basic level evaluation to rule out arthritis or other joint changes responsible for the pain level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
