Knee pain outside back
Common Questions and Answers about Knee pain outside back
knee-pain
Hi,
I was trekking with some friends when half way through the trek I experienced Sharp pain on both legs near the knee. It's on the outer dude and back of knee.
With each step its so severe that I cannot take a step with leg bent.
It seems to be coming somewhere near the lcl or where the hamstring tendon attacks to lower foot, just behind and to the outer side of the knee.
The first time I noticed this was 6 months ago on the treadmill.
I twisted my knee and when it happen I heard and felt a pop on the inside of my knee. Also, now when I walk, I have pain and crackling on the outside, under the knee. When I am walking and I have to turn or piviot, I get a pain that runs the inside of my knee. And now I can just be standing there and my knee feels like it is really loose and feels like I hyperextended in, the knee pushes back. How ling should I wait to go to the doctor or should I continue to try and heal it myself.
I have been having problems with knee pain. The pain is in my right knee but only on the outside and towards the back of the knee. I do not recall any trauma/injury. I have done heat and ibuprofen but those dont seem to help alot. I have been experiencing this pain for a few weeks, with a short span where things seemed to be getting better. I am 29 years old and rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family. Any ideas of what could be going on? The side of my knee feels "tight".
every time i get it extended it sends sharp pain from the lower part of my knee up to my hip bone. I'm only 20 so the thought of knee replacement scares me half to death. I can't start my career in dance until my knee is back to normal.. i've tried icing it, stretching it, biofreeze you name it i've probably tried it. the only thing to give it a glimmer of relief is the knee brace i have to wear now.
The pain will come with walking, sometimes very quickly and sometimes not much at all. When the pain comes, I have a swelling on the outside of the knee joint about the size of half a golf ball. When I rest the swelling and pain go away within 10 or 20 minutes. This doesn't sound like arthritis to me.
A two-fold question, would these symptoms be consistent with AO? Or do these symptoms sound more like damage to the meniscus?

I damaged my medial ligaments(slight) 4 to 5 months ago felt fine after a couple of weeks but have just recently been experiencing a severe sharp pain mainly i would say towards the outside and in the back of my right knee but only when i bring my heal to my bum ( no pain at all until it nearly at it fullest ). Not really experienced any other pain ect on the odd occasion knee felt like giving way when fully locked out . I have no problem running gym ect .
He is concerned when he takes his braces off of a swelling/bump on the lower outside part of his knee cap. Coming down the stairs Saturday his knee gave way and he fell the last couple of steps down the stairs, this is worrying him. If I understand you correctly my husband knee could have arthritis in it and his x-ray and MRI would not show anything. Then how can they diagnose this condition? What questions should we ask the doctor? I look forward to your answers.
Pain on kneeling with a burning sensation afterwards is commonly seen in the inflammation of the bursa of the knee called bursitis. A bursa is a small sac of fluid. It cushions the outside of knee joint so that tendons and ligaments glide smoothly over the joint. Bursitis is often treated with rest, elevation, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). If this does not help then fluid is aspirated out. Another option is corticosteroid injections.
As the topic states, I get knee pain in the back of my knee when jumping off one leg while playing basketball. However, the back story should help explain things. About three years ago I rolled my ankle a number of times over the course of a couple of months. It was to the point where I favored it and just started jumping off my opposite, strong leg. This worked for the most part. However, I still managed to roll my weak ankle incidentally while playing from time to time.
Im 31 years old lost 50 lb back down to 130lb well i have been having this pain in my right knee on the outside of it. the pain feels like a sharp burning pain only when i put pressure on it.. I have lost weight and its still happening. its been like this for about two+ years. My knee clicks at time.. when i wake up in the morning its feels like there is water trapped around my knee cap and swollen alittle. then about 45 mins after i get up the water and swellening goes down.
My right knee was causing much pain on the outside area, and when I would walk it felt like my knee would try to slip out of joint. Like the outter area of my knee was pulling it out. I went and saw a specialist, they took an x-ray and didn't see any damage. He moved my leg around in every motion possible and said I more than likely tore my meniscus again on the outside and that is why it is giving out.
But recently I started having pain and stiffness in it when I run and do games. The pain is on the left knee outside. I think I made it worse this week by playing in the pool. Now it hurts walking up and down the stairs and I can't kneel on it. It also hurts when I squat down. I feel like I can't bend it as far back as my other leg. The knee is not tender to the touch. No swelling. I was wondering if this sounds like simple tendonitis or something more serious.
The pain comes when i am standing and bend my knee where my heel is touching the back of my leg and also when I bend over to touch my toes. There is also pain on the outside of my knee (to the touch) usually with moderate pressure that is located on the right side of my knee. I need some insight on what this might be, I have no insurance and looking for help/tips for treatment.
Thank you for your time.
Why would the pain come and go as it does?
I do notice a clicking if I twist the knee but not when I just move it back and forth. No pain on the inside or outside of the joint and have full extention and full squating with no discomfort. No swelling that I can tell.
I know what a meniscus tear feels like, I had 2 in each knee and have had zero pain over the years except for this.
I am 59 years young.
It has had extensive physical tests and on the third day in i hurt my knee. The pain was sharp and intense the day i hurt it on the outside of my knee. My knee never buckled or twisted or popped to indicate something bad happened. I was just walking up stairs after a short jog about 100m and my knee began to lock up and have intense pain that day. I fought through the pain that day and made it to the next day of training.
It also feels if I were to put all of my weight on it that it would give out. On the outside of the knee, there is visible fluid build-up. And when I flex the leg, you can hear the knee cracking.
I went to see my family physician and he said it felt like the meniscus was torn, so he wanted me to get an MRI. When the MRI report came back it said there was fluid build-up in the acl compartment and the acl might be torn.
hi i have been getting really bad knee pain on my Right knee on the inside where the MCL is at but i had a MRI and it came back normal but that was about 3 months ago and i am still having the pain and now once an awhail it will lock and i fall cuz of it and my dortors wont do nothing about it i asked to see a ortho but they wont let me do you know or what it could be?
I was doing quite well until I had a heavy practice and the following day I woke up with a little stiffness and aching in the posterolateral section of my knee with full extension and full squat. The pain was mostly during deep squatting at the very bottom (please don't argue with me about deep squatting because I will prove you wrong with numerous research/peer-reviewed articles).
then the pain went away for a while about 4 1/2 months and now its come back but this time on my left knee. i dont know if this has anything to do with my injury, it also could be my weight even though it shouldnt because im not too overweight just average. the pain feels like its my knee bones scraping together, its terrible,
Any help, suggestions, etc.??
HELP PLEASEE!!!
