Answers:
I am 23 and have had around 6 knee surgeries!. You can have that pain for many reasons and I think you should get it checked out as soon as you can!. Believe me!.!.!.!.!.!.putting it off is not the way to go!. Until then I would say to ICE!.!.!.Ice Compression Elevation!. Wrap it in an ace bandage w/ ice on it and try to elevate it higher than you heart to try to cut down on the swelling which can cause pain itself!. I have found that Ibuprofen and Aleve worked best as OTC meds if you need them!. Hope all turns out well!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, do you perform in any kind of activities that would have caused injury to the knee!? Knee pain can result from a number of issues!. Alot of the causes are from degenerative disorders, and usually require therapy or even surgery to fix!. Now if you have injured it, or dislocated the patella, you would be experiencing a great deal of pain in and around the kneecap!. Do you have any other leg problems, particulary spasms or restless leg syndrome!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
