What Causes Intense Pain In The Knee?
ABout a year ago I started experiencing severe pain in my left knee. While sitting the pain is intense on the outside of my knee. While laying down pain is in the back of my knee. Walking I feel as if my knee will not stop going back, almost feels as if it will fold backwards. I can not ride in a car without pain. I also am having trouble stepping over any object higher than 6 inches. have experienced tingling and burning down the outside of my calf. And almost no strength in my leg. Very frustrating and tiresome. Very little swelling even though I can feel the swelling.
