What Causes Sudden Onset Of Pain In Knee While Walking?
I have pain on the inside of my knee which came on suddenly while walking yesterday. The pain is fairly localized but hurts particularly when I walk down starts. It almost feels like there is a slight catch with each step. It feels better with walking even uphill. I have tried ice and rest today, but it gets more tender with inactivity. Advice?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to tendinitis which is inflammation of the tendons in the knee. I suggest using an anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. I recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
