I woke up this morning with pain in my knee cap. I went to sleep without any issue and did not over exert or injure my knee,. My only physical activity was peddling on a stationary bike 3 times a week for approximately 30 minutes for for the past year. Today I walked at the airport and my knee pain became worse. I have resting my knee on a recliner, have placing a cold pack on my knee and have taken a tynolol every 4 hours After reading all the causes for the knee pain none seem to apply

dear
thanks for writing to HCM
I appreciate for your concern towards health.
As rightly done a cold sponging is good.Had I been your treating doctor i would have advised for a uric acid and a RA factor done to rule out any bone ailment.
More over please be assured that some times during our continuous joint exercises,we get a twist &twig with our ligaments or nerves as well resulting in a transient pain.
Please be calm rest for a while and enjoy your life.
