What Does Pain Above The Right Knee Indicate?
I have pain above my right knee for about 2 years. A year and a half ago I had ultrasound and did not show anything. Also 2 years ago I was diagnose with psoriasis arthritis in my left middle finger. My right elbow is hurting a lot for about 3 weeks. Pain above my knee comes and goes and is about 15centimeters above knee. left leg is perfectly fine.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Dear,
Chronic pain in the right knee may be due to arthritis or bursitis (supra patellar bursitis) or tendinitis .
Dear is there any swelling??Is that pain aggravated by movement of the joint? Is there any redness of joint?? some times psoriasis may cause enthesopathy means inflammation of tendon at joint insertion site.
Please consult your orthopedician and get x-ray of joint and get treated accordingly.
Take care!
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
