Common Questions and Answers about Knee joint line tenderness

I can pin-point exactly where the pain is (it moves around the knee and elbow joint) just by touching it. I can also feel a constant throbbing pain without even touching my knees or elbows.

I have never experienced any sort of swelling nor do I feel stiff in my joints.

If the patient has a ligament injury, the patient will report a deceleration injury or twisting the knee that led to immediate symptoms of swelling and pain.

Right now both my upper outside arms have tender spots, as well as above both knees. Some nights are difficult to sleep, because the pressure of lying on the tender spot hurts alot.
