What Causes Pain In Knees While Running Or Bending?

Whenever I run, I get sharp pains in both my knees. After I run, my right knee hurts a lot when bending or going up and down stairs or putting too much pressure on it. It goes away after a few days though but returns once I run again. Last year I fell hard on my knee and had a bruised bone and had to wear a brace to keep the knee stable because it was popping out of place without a brace. The swelling and everything has gone down but it still hurts every now and then like when I m running. Can you explain to me why this is?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain knee pain that comes and goes and causes difficulty and pain during bending,climbing stairs or putting pressure on it with a medical history of bruising of bone and need to wear brace..

It can occur due to causes like over exertion, ageing while can also be due to certain disorders like:
-Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury.
-Torn meniscus.
-Knee bursitis.
-Tendinitis.
-Arthritis.
-Gout.
-Infections etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI Scan, blood test etc can be done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone, apply an analgesic gel over the knees and put knee braces..
Limit exertion as it can add up to pain..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
