Why does knee pain occur from sitting in a place for a long time?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I feel pain in my left knee when I sit in any place for a long time. But I felt it first after playing football. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern. The symptoms you tell are pointing towards the chondromalacia patella. I suggest the following.
- Activities that cause pain should be avoided temporarily.
- If the knee is swollen or sore, avoid squatting, kneeling, twisting, pivoting, jogging, aerobics, dancing, and playing sport.
- Do stretching exercises.
I suggest taking X-rays of both knees in anteroposterior, lateral, and skyline views. But consult a specialist and go further. I hope this helps.
Thank you.
