What Is The Cause For Pain And Sore In The Leg Above The Knee Joint?

Hello,

I have a strange pain, it's on the inside of my left leg, just above the knee joint area.

It feels as though the skin is tight, it's not sore to touch but if I use thumb and index finger and try to gently stretch it, the pain increases 10 fold.

Any ideas?

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you need to do some examinations like xrays and ultrasound of the knee as initial evaluation and then MRI or CT scan if needed and see an orthopedic surgeon. This may be anything starting from a simple knee effusion or bone tumor.
