Will a brace or anti-inflammatory relieve pain under knee?
Hello doctor,
I have had knee pain for the past week but not much pain. Yesterday I went to the gym, and something triggered the pain under my knee. Since then under my right knee, I get a pinching pain now and then. If I rub, there is pain in a particular spot. Would a brace or anti-inflammatory help? My main concern is the cartilage, as my dad has a problem with inflammation. I would like to know what is the best action to take.

What causes tightness and irritation in my lower legs?
Hello doctor,
I have chronic pain at the semimembranosus insertion points in both legs. I have had this for nearly 18 months. I am a runner who over-pronates. More recently I have had tightness and hyper irritation in my lower legs - shins, and calves. I have had a lumbar MRI for a bulging disc which showed a very slight disc bulge at L4-L5 on the left side but no impingement on the nerve. So, considered negative for pain in my legs. My question is, could the semimembranosus insertion point be affecting the tibial nerve and causing the tightness and irritation in my lower legs? This does not respond to stretching which often makes it worse.
