What Does Pain In The Knees Indicate?

A week ago while walking my knee began to hurt on the inside of my leg. Not swollen or bruised. IN addition I have pain that feels almost like a Charlie horse in the muscle above (quad) and in mt calf muscle. My knee hurts most when I walk up and down stairs when needing to bend it. It s not a sharp pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
thanks for the question
It would have been of great help if you could have told your age
considering you have no sports injury and you have pain on using stairs mainly on medial side of leg
In my opinion osteoarthritis if knee has to be looked for
Osteoarthritis tend to cause medial side joint pain intially, which worsens with activities
also worsens with stair climbing
there are other possibilities also which need further clinical correlation
I will advise you to report to orthopedician for clinical and radiologically assessment.
In mean Time do quadriceps and hamistring strengthening exercise, pain killers s.o.s
wish you luck
