What Causes Pain In My Knee?
My R knee is very painfull it hurts when I walk, get up from sitting , sometimes even hurts while sitting. With the slightess touch around the area including knee cap it is very painful sometimes if I touch a spot towards the right of the knee I get a very sharp pain that almost sends me through the roof. It also feels like it catches or locks up on the inside of the knee this even happens while I'm sleeping
The pain is mostly around my left side of knee & under knee cap
I've been told my tibia has moved what could this be?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee.
Most commonly meniscus injury occurs.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.
Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS.
Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
