Hello, Earlier this week, i began having pain in both of my knees. I am a 25 year old female and have not experienced any knee injuries. In the morning I wake up stiff and by the time I go to bed I am in pain, sometimes extreme. I have been trying heat pads with no relief. I have also been off work for the last couple of weeks and have been mostly resting and performing normal activity, nothing strenuous. The pain is persistent and sometimes achy. I have trouble if I sit for too long. I also have troubles sitting in general near the end of the day. It is constant pain. One usually more so than the other. What could this be?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. Also, as the pain is in the knee joint which is a stiff kind of felling a clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised. Post which is needed than the MRI or x-ray of the knee will be advised. Usually, the pain can be due to any factor for which an assessment is needed. Post which, with simple medication and physical therapy you should be back to work. Strengthening the muscles are will help improve the knee biomechanics and also help further on a long run. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
