Please, does anyone else feel this, or am I an extremely bizzare freak? hmmmm, please only respond if you've actually had an injury and experienced an ultrasound.

The shortening of my thigh muscles pulls my hip and knee joints out of alignment, causing pain in my hip and knee joints. There is no cure for this condition apart from physiotherapy exercises and pain management, but there has got to be a proper medical term for it with more details on the web.

What causes pain on the left side of the knee and on top of the thigh? My whole leg hurts really bad and I have been to the podiatrist and the physical therapist and they don't know what is wrong - now I am going to an orthopedic on the 18th. But I want to get some kind of idea of what it could be - opinions. Here is what happened that could be the cause, if anyone can help - I would love you - I fell off a ladder and fractured a toe bone and had to get two fragments removed. Healed nicely until I had SEVERE dull ache in my thigh with no swelling or discoloration. After a week it sort of went away - the pain came back and forth but now it is constant and tender on the top of the thigh, the side of the thigh down to the left side of the knee and to the front bottom of the knee. But it makes my whole leg hurt along with it. It feels like the type of pain you get when you hit your funny bone. Please help.

What causes knee pain below the knee cap? Yesturday i was walking down a set of bleachers which was 4 steps and then turned left to go somewhere else, but after i turned and started walking i was like "ouch" my left knee really hurts. I just blew it off though because 2 years ago i had knee surgery and the surgeon placed an "eight Plate" in on the left side of my left knee and a "eight plate" on the right side of my right knee to close my growth plates. My left knee has always hurt from time to time because of that but my right has been fine. Over the left plate on the left leg is usually where i have constant pain because i have tendons abnormally rolling over the plate which is hurting them, and when you place your hand over the plate area and bend my knee you can feel them rolling and its pretty gross. But this is the first time i have had pain below my knee and i seem to have a slight decrease in motion in that knee now, and it dosent hurt to walk on nessecarily until i bend it back. Did i dislocate my knee? Or did i tear a tendon on the side of my knee which holds my knee cap in place? Any clue would help me greatly. When my knee bends and i place my hand right underneither my knee cap i can feel something move or like pop, what is that?
Masturbation causes Knee pain? I almost masturbate daily. It started when I was 15 yrs. Now I am 20. I can't help it. I don't masturbate using hands mostly, but when I sleep I lie upside down and rub it against the bed and I get ejaculation. For few days I am sitting and masturbating using hands. My right knee is paining. I know this pain comes whenever I masturbate using hands. I have masturbated nearly 3 times within three hours yesterday and that is how the knee pain started. Some saying it is because the sperm stuck in your knees, drink water. Some says it is because you making your legs stiff while masturbating, that is the reason. But I am afraid that it will be a permanent pain. Because I know a lecturer in my college, he is more than 50 yrs old and a sex addict, have no child. He have that pain in his knees, can't walk strait, he did not care in the early stages, so he now can not use his right knee like a normal person. We used to mock him saying like that. Please give me some advise for this lifeless prick. :-(

Unbending knee causes pain? Recently I've been experiencing pain in my right knee, at first it seemed random, but it's gotten worse and I realized it comes from sitting with my knee bent (even slightly can do it), and then unbending my knee. It's only my right knee, and the pain is excruciating. Luckily it goes away after a couple minutes, but for those moments there's nothing I can do to ease it and it nearly brings me to tears. It's a very sharp, burning pain. I've tried looking around on the net but I don't really see anything with similar symptoms. There is no popping or grinding, and it isn't sore to the touch (no swelling, bruising, etc.) What could be making my knee hurt so terribly only when I unbend it? And how can I treat it to stop it from hurting so horribley!

What could be the cause of my knee pain? I have been having feelings of tightness and sharp spasms of pain in my left knee. The pain varies in intensity and comes and goes. I've noticed it only occasionally before, but in the past week it has become more severe and almost constant. It seems to feel the worst when I am in bed and changing positions. I have never had an injury to the leg or anything like that. In fact, I am not athletic at all. I have an extensive family history of osteoarthritis, but this seems unlikely as I am only 23-years-old. I am wondering if my lack of much physical activity could be the cause of the pain?

Well therein lies the problem-I exercise 1 day and I can't walk for 3 days I'm in so much pain. I feel that there is something else wrong here. Any thoughts??

Knee pain - possible causes and how next to diagnose? I have pain in both knees, directly behind the knee caps, especially after exercise, or for example wearing heels. This is not following a trauma. X-rays, echography and now magnetic scanner have all come up clear, but it does not change the fact that at 33 years old I can not do any sport and prolonged walking leaves me in agony the next day. What is next after a magnetic scan in order to diagnose what is causing the pain? I had an IRM (in France) which I think is the equivalent of a CT scan...

Should I worry about my knee pain? So I'm a 15 year old female and have had knee problems since I was about 12. I had ACL surgery on my right knee about 2 years ago on one of my knees and have dislocated my knee cap numerous times in both knees, probably 5 times on the left and 2 times on the right. I had to stop playing basketball and soccer because I kept hurting myself and would like to walk when I'm older.

I don't want to go to the doctor cause I don't want to hear that I have to do therapy because that never helps. What should I do???
What could cause knee pain, worse when knee is bent, and in the mornings? I have been experiencing pain in only my right knee for some time now. It seems to be worse in the mornings than in the afternoons. When I wake up there is a dull ache in my knee, if my knee is bent for more than a minute or two, the dull ache grows into an unbearable pain. When I do straighten my leg out, the pain intensifies for a few minutes, and then slowly goes away. It is very difficult to go up or down stairs as I always feel like my knee dosent have the strength to support me, and it causes a lot of pain. Today, my knee was hurting when I woke up, and it is still in pain around 4:45 after sitting at a desk at work all day. The pain slowly seems to dull during the day, so after work, it hurts, but not enough for me to complain about it. I never played sports. I do not have an excessive amount of physical activity. I am 26 years old and have never had any other joint issues. There is no family history of anything of this sort. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Anyone Heard of Knee Pain caused by lethargy? My roommate (24) had knee problems almost 2 years ago. After a while he got a little better. Enough so that he was going to work, and living like normal. Occasionally he was a little sore. After that we started to go to the gym. He was worried his knee pain would come back. It didn't. Instead he got better. He could lift, bend and squat. We were going six days a week for at least a half hour a day, doing serious lifting. We had to stop (due to fund shortages) and we slowly started to see knee pain again. Then he got a job on his feet all day. He walked to and from work every day. His knee pain was mild, if even noticeable some days. He left that job after about two months and now he doesn't really do any physical activity. His knee has gotten really bad. It's to the point now that he walks with a cane. He can't sit for any period of time without pain. Sleeping causes pain. We thought maybe his diet, but its not consistent. He can't see a Doctor because he doesn't have insurance. HELP!
What can cause pain behind your knee cap? About two weeks ago I started noticing that it hurt to use my left leg to walk up stairs. Ever since then it has been getting worse.

can lower back problems cause knee pain? ever since trying out the back exercise "the superman", i've been dealing with a lot of leg muscle and joint pain. the pain started the day after trying out the exercise, and most of the leg pains have gone away over the course of a month with the exception of knee problems. the knee problems have actually worstened. symptoms are occasional redness over knee, rarely stiffness, pain "behind" kneecap and around the knee area, mostly tendons. if i put my hands on them, i can also hear them make a creaking noise, though ive probably had this before without noticing it. ive been going to a chiropractor and have seen some improvement. pain becomes more constant and stronger a few hours after exercise. is this just a case of overworked knee, or did i do something serious to it? i about a month before experiencing leg pain i had started doing sprint exercises. sorry if its written poorly, im in a rush and can add info in necessary. P.S. im 16!

Im going to the doctors soon,but I want to hear your opinions too.I was prety weak,so I started running 6 months ago.I started getting knee pain and cracking noises,so I stopped for a month.My right legs stopped hurting,but my left leg kept cracking and making noises.I started light squats with no weight and I worked my way up to 150 squats with no pain.Then I took 2 weeks rest and the pain came back again.Now both my legs make noises and I have different kinds of pain.When I do a half squat I feel very light pain and I feel small popping noises.When I do a deep squat I feel a very sharp pain right in the middle of the knees,so I stop.When I strint i feel pain at the ligaments on the outer part of the knee.If I put my finger on my knee cap while moving it I feel its rubbing.The weird thing is that I only feel symptoms when I extend my knee.When I retract it i feel ok.
What could be causing pain on the left side of my right knee and my upper right buttock? I was doing aerobics at the gym last week when I noticed my right knee feeling weird. I stopped exercising and later in the evening my knee kept feeling more strained. I still haven't been back to the gym and just figured I pulled a muscle. It's been a week now and my knee still feels the same way. It's sore and feels like a torn muscle. A couple of days ago I first noticed there is a place in my upper right buttock that is extremely sore. Are the two places related to the same injury perhaps? The pain on my knee is on the top inside left side of my knee. Pain only hits me with certain movements. What is this? and how can I get better and get back in the gym?

What could cause knee pain for more than two months? About two months ago I had a mild pain in my knee. At first it wasn't bad but constant. Tree days ago I bent down and I have this really bad pain in my knee. It feels like a pulling and pressure(this has been the same for two months). I have also started to have this intense burning sensation. Oh the pain is on the front of my knee under my knee cap. The burning(witch is a new symptom) is rite above and around my knee cap. Would I be able to tell if there was fluid? It isn't swollen at all. I guess its the front part of my knee. It is rite under the knee cap going down to my lower leg. I also tryed using an icy hot patch two days ago could that make it worse?
What could cause knee pain and grinding after a fall? I tripped and fell last Friday night (it's Tuesday now), and I bruised myself pretty bad. Worse than the bruising though, is one spot on my knee that took most of the force of my fall. At first it felt like a scrape in that it burned when I touched it. However, once I looked at it, I realized that my skin was intact. Now four days later, there is still that one spot that when I touch it, it shoots pain through my leg so bad that my eyes water. All of the bruises have come to the surface, and this spot remains uncolored, so I don't think it's a bruise. At first I thought it was nerve damage because it was an unfamiliar type of pain and the symptoms seemed to fit. However, today I noticed that if I put some pressure over the entire knee cap, I felt a sort of grinding, which would point to a fracture. Mobility wise, I can get around pretty well, in that I can walk with bearable pain, but it is certainly not comfortable. I think I need to go to the doctor, and my mom says it's probably just swelling that will go down in a few days. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing or have any idea what the issue might be?
Possible causes and solution to knee pain? Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a lot of pain in my knee ca(lower knee cap). I take various over the counter pain medication,but I am curious as to what causes this and remedies. I cant go to the Dr. right now, due to the expense. Any home remedies or over the counter cures? Thanks for answering. I will use a brace too,but is there something else I can take?

What causes pain in the knee & hip at the same time? I have extreme pain in my outer hip and in my knee. I know I need to go to the doctor but I am wondering if anyone knows what could be causing this and what is the best type of doctor to see.

What is causing my knee pain and how do I treat it? I have knee pain, which strangely, is worse when resting or sleeping. If I exercise, the pain seems to reduce. The pain is localised to a small area on the inside of my knee and is worse if I apply pressure to it. It is a dull ache - a bit like tooth ache. I am training for a half marathon and don't really want to stop running.
What causes knee pain behind the knee? I injured my knee and have been in therapy for 4 weeks but I can't get rid of the pain in the back of my knee it's like it's not better at all any suggestions what it might be
What is the cause of this knee pain? Yes,I am training for marathon scheduled for December this year.Recently I am getting a very strange pain in my right knee.The pain comes when my right leg goes forward and hits the ground.Also I said strange because yesterday I ran about 6 miles and there was no pain but after about 2 hours I got severe pain that I was unable to keep my right foot on the ground and it disappeared when I massaged it with oil. What might be the cause of this pain? I got a bit depressed because of this.Kindly suggest what should I do though marathon is still far away and I do not want to lose time and training.I would be highly thankful.
What could be the cause of this knee pain? My fiance has had severe knee pain for a while now we went to the doctor and he had an MRI done and it showed what the orthopedic said was a mass or legion he said that he may have Fibrous Cortical Defect which does not cause pain! His foot is swelling now and he has been off his leg and the pain does not stop. Has anyone had this problem? or should he get a biopsy?
My knee locks up and causes alot of pain? Ok this may be a lot to read given that i tend to describe a lot about stuff so just bare with me. Alright ive been having this retarded thing going on with my knee for a few years now. When im like wrestling around with my boyfriend or even just kneeling on the floor sometimes when i go to move out of a certain position i find that my knee if locked. When i try to move it in the position im going i get this horrible pain in my knee which literally takes my breath away. If I want my knee to unlock almost every time what i do is hold my breath and stretch my leg out until my knee makes a loud pop. While trying to stretch the leg out it hurts like hell and after it pops it still hurts but its not locked up and the pain is only moderate and it lasts for maybe 3 to 5 days afterward. Other times i try just moving my leg back the way it came and it works and i also get moderate pain after wards but for maybe a little over a weak. Ive asked people I work with about it and they say i need to just get it checked out by a doctor the only thing to that is is that i have no medical insurance yet. I would like to know if ne one can tell me what is going on with my knee. The only thing that i could say that caused this is about 14 or 15th years old i was playing soccer in the school gym for gym class. Well i loved my gym class and we would always do crazy stuff well someone kicked the ball and it was of the ground by maybe 4 or 5 feet well i tried kicking up real high to knock it down ( again we were crazy) well my shoe flew off in the process given that i never tied my shoes i would just tuck the strings under the lip of my shoe (forgot gym shoes that day). Well when my foot game back down it made contact with the floor for about a second but the flooring is wood that was waxed and polished so my sock being soft made my foot fly right from underneath me and i with all my body weight came down onto my right knee with my other leg directly behind me all most like a split but kneeling with one leg i don't exactly remember having any direct pain afterwords but since then ive had this locking up stuff with my knee. Idk if the info was helpful but if ne one can tell me anything i would really appreciate it. =] thx I would also like for you to actually describe what may be wrong with my knee and by describe i mean more than a sentence or two. Please be thorough as well i like lots of details
I'm 18 but I have a lot of knee pain. What could this be caused by? It usually feels like my knees are full of hot liquid or something or swelling on the inside. It happens when I'm working out but also when I stay in the same position for a long time, or even for just a few seconds sometimes.
What could be the cause of my knee pain? Im young and am having knee pain, and cannot recall any trauma. The knee is swelled and it sometimes creaks. I've gone to the doctor and she tested my blood for strep,lyme disease,and arthritis, all which came back negative. i just got an MRI yesterday and it also came back with nothing wrong. The pain and swelling has lasted about 6 weeks and the pain is beginning to get worse.Im going to an orthopedic specialist tomorrow.But any ideas of what could be causing my pain?
Cause of knee pain? I had a sudden onset of pain right knee during my long run.? It hit my at mile 18 of a 20 miler I was doing today and it felt like my whole knee was giving out. I walked it off for a few minutes and after trying to resume I felt it right away mainly lateral side of knee around the fibular head. Also felt it a little in my calf muscle. I dont think it is ITB since it was by the fibular head. Biceps tendon? But it also felt like the whole knee was giving out as well. It does not hurt much now but I am curious on how to address this. Any thoughts??? other tidbits: I did an 18 miler last week without any discomfort. I think I was well hydrated and had enough carbs during my run. chicago marathon is 3 weeks and I am contemplating giving myself another shot to do my 20 miler if my knee is better by next week.

Cause of my knee pain? Will delayed diagnosis cause permanent damage? My right knee has been popping for as many years as I can remember, but I have never had any pain until these past four days or so. It started as a stinging feeling in my right kneecap whenever I bent the joint upward (e.g. lifting my knee to my chest) and/or when I completely straightened my leg out and tensed/flexed it a bit. Now it's happening regardless of what I do, but the pain comes and goes. The majority of my pain is on the inner part of my kneecap... it's a stinging pain that almost tickles as well. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely uncomfortable. Every time I bend my kneecap and then straighten it out it pops (but as I said before, it has been doing this for years even prior to the pain). Sometimes the pain radiates down my leg and into my ankle. Any idea what it could be? I don't recall doing anything specific that would have injured it. There was no "pop" noise and no visible swelling. It has been about four days now. I'm using ice and trying to rest as much as possible, but I still have to go to work/etc. Is there any chance it will just get better on its own? Am I risking any sort of permanent damage by putting off going to the doctor for another week (that's the only chance I have). I'm a 25-year-old male by the way. Thank you.
cause of knee pain, popping and weakness? hello, I'm a 20 year old man. I've recently had a lot of strange pain in my knees. I used to run and weight train, but now I don't really do a lot of that. My knees have always cracked a lot, but recently they've been cracking more, and it's sort of a fizzled cracking. My main concern is that whenever I squat down, I feel this strange tightness, like I'm going to pull something. It happens more on my right knee and after I squat it makes a popping when I extend it forwards all the way. I also here this strange faint, fizzling sound when I bounce on my knees, I imagine it might be crepitus. My left knee also makes this strange shifting feeling when I fold it inward and flex. However, my knees aren't tight, they don't hurt regularly or after I run. Any guesses?
There is a bump under my knee which causes lots of pain...? I've had this bump under my knee cap for bout a month now and it hasn't bothered me till these weeks. I feel like it's getting swollen and it doesn't help me when it comes to sports and outdoor activities. Even walking is a pain at times, when climbing the stairs or not. Now my knee cap is killing me too. What can I do to help prevent pain and stuff? I'm visiting the doctor next Tuesday, but I don't think I can make it. Any tips?
What is the cause of my knee pain? I am a 14 year old girl who is a netball player and loves it. i have been experiencing really bad joint-knee pain for the past 2-3 years, i have been playing netball for 7-8 years. I went to get x-rays done when i was 10 but they said there was nothing wrong and said they didn't think i was even having pain. I was wondering if anybody could help to diagnose me please??
What are and how many different causes can there be for knee pain,stiffness and clicking?...? Around 15 years ago a sustained some damage to my knee, that caused me pain(a feeling like I twisted it...if that makes sense). It was swollen and caused pain for a few weeks, but then subsided. For the last 15 years it has only caused me pain when very bad weather is impending, until recently. After lifting and carrying many heavy objects within the last month, all of a sudden, my knee gets stiff if i'm immobile causing pain and clicks when I straighten out my leg to ease the stiffness. There is no obvious swelling although there may be a bit. I know I need to see a dr., but was wondering if it could be something that is easily and cheaply treated? Have no health insurance and not eligible for medicaid or any other reduced medical care. Just wondering what I'm in for and want to know the optimistic, best case scenario. Any insight? Professionals welcome! lol Thanks
what could be the cause of this knee pain? I started running high school cross country after years of not being active. I've had about 5 weeks of practise before the pain began but one week at a race, I ran up a big hill without doing any hills for maybe two weeks. The pain is on my left leg, leaning more to the inner side of my knee. it doesnt really hurt when i walk on a flat surface or when I run but when I walk up a path with a slightly steep incline. It feel it when I sit on my knees and when I sit on the floor with my leg extended (and also when I bring it up to stretch it on a high surface, like a table/bed. Would there be a torn ligament or soemthing like that , I cant really tell???
Can Osgood-Schlatter disease occur in a 5 year old? What else can cause knee pain in children? My 5 year old daughter has been complaining about persistent knee pain for more than a month. Motrin keeps it under control, but she's been on Motrin 24 hours a day for weeks, and when it wears off in the middle of the night she wakes up crying from the pain. Blood tests, X-rays and bone scans have both been conducted and there are no signs of fractures, infections, abcesses, Lyme disease, tumors, leukemia, or other obvious causes of the pain. A friend pointed out that his teenage son had very similar symptoms, which turned out to be Osgood-Schlatter disease. My brief research all indicates that this is a problem that typically occurs in adolescence. Has anyone experienced such an issue with a younger child? Has anyone else experienced this with their children? What did it turn out to be?
What muscles and tendons cause interior knee pain? What muscles and tendons cause interior knee pain due to tightness? My inner knee always flares up with pain but its not my patella tendon. It is just to the interior side of the patella tendon, and it hurts when I squat and jump, or fully flex my leg completely straight. I have been trying to figure this out for over a year. No doctor has been able to help. Stretch seems to help, but I its only temporary, then comes back.
Would a knee injury cause pain else where in your leg? I fell down the stairs over 2 months ago and I hit my knee square into the corner of the wall. Obviously my knee hurts, but I also feel pain along the left side of my shin and the right side of my thigh. Most of the pain is my knee. Could the damage that's done in my knee be affecting the other parts of my leg? I go to my orthopedist on Monday.

What can I do about my knee pain, caused by running? I started running about 3 or 4 months ago but I'm having a hard time moving forward with my distance/time and speed because of knee pain caused by my running. I'm in my twenties and slim so age and weight are not causing or contributing to the pain. I've been told to use ice and take anti-inflammatorys. Is there anything else I can do? Will the pain go away eventually?

What's the cause/treatment of my knee pain? About 6 months ago, I went to get up out of a chair and my knee popped. I went to the ER and they said that it was too swollen with too much fluid in the xray to really see anything. They never looked at it again, just told me to rest/ice/elevate. Which I did. Now 6 months later I'm still having at times severe knee pain and knee buckling. I can't stay on it for more then an hour or so. Any advice? Thank you so much!

what causes knee pain when bending my knee? i was getting my 9 month old out of the car when i got sudden sharp pain in my knee...the pain didnt occur with walking, mostly just with getting up and down from sitting and going up and down stairs. i also had pain when scooting my chair forward or backward while sitting in it. basically, i have pain when bending my knee and putting weight on it...the pain subsided by the time i went to see my doctor (general practitioner). about a week after the initial pain, i began a long drive (17 hr trip) and the pain started to return...i also started to have swelling and pain in general just with movement..i would wake up with pain every time i moved during the night...by the 2nd day of the trip, i could not bend my knee enough to put my sock on...now, 5 days later, the pain is subsiding again...anyone know what could be the problem?

What causes pain in the upper back calf right above the knee? I'm a teenage girl that plays softball and volleyball. I've had this pain about 6 months ago. It feels like a stabbing pain right under my knee and last time it went away overnight; however, I don't want it to come back if I can help it. I haven't played any sport in a couple of weeks and I've recently done a lot of swimming and walking. When I stretch my calf muscles, the pain increases.
How to stop knee pain caused by liquid on the knee? Both of my knees have "liquid on the knee" or "water on the knee". Yes, I'm aware I can have it drained, but obviously, not right now. My knees are throbbing, and burning, specifically around, and under my kneecap. Is there any way I can make this stop, even just for a little bit?
Pain In Knee Cap (Ignore this because this is just to make the minimum character requirement)? Mostly my left knee, but a little bit in the right, my knees have been painful to straighten all the way and when taking weight, and a little weak. The pain is in the front of the knee, so I'm sure it's the knee cap that's sustained injury. I don't have that many problems running, as I'm doing decently in PE at school, but when I'm riding a bicycle of something similar, I will get a spike of pain and have to stop pedaling, and then I can continue after the pain subsides. The cause of injury might be from when I jumped off the roof of a one story building two days ago. I rolled fine when I hit the ground, but there was a tiny sting in my left ankle from not pointing my toes enough. I'm not certain how that would cause knee pain, as I was absolutely fine immediately after the jump, and rode my bike home without pain... But anyway, if it's my knee cap that's bruised or something like that, what should I do for it to heal as quickly as possible?
What causes knee pain that occurs when not putting weight on it? This is severe sharp pain behind the knee cap. While I am standing, if I shift to stand on my left leg and let the right one hang the pain is severe. As soon as I put my weight back on the right leg the pain stops. It is intermittent. Lasts for a total of about 1week. It is not related to excessive activity. When this happens it lasts for a few days followed by a few days of a feeling like my knee cap is being lifted up like there is swelling behind my knee cap but not visible swelling.

Minimalist to Normal Running shoe transition causing knee pain? I ran an entire XC season wearing Kinvara 2s with no problems and a few months back I decided to get some regular Asics running shoes because I felt that the Kinvaras wore out too fast. After doing some sprint workouts in them my left knee started hurting. It cracks and grinds when I rotate it and move it around. Could it be because of my shoes? Should I keep running in them or get something like the Kinvara again?

I Have Pain Near My Knee When I Put Pressure On The Ball Of My Foot? Ever since i fell two days a go i cannot put heavy pressure on the ball of my right foot, it doesn't bother me when I'm walking but when I'm walking up or down stairs it hurts as it puts pressure on the ball of my foot, but the weird thing is that the actual pain is not in the foot but is near my knee, i may have landed on my knee when i fell but what would cause pain in my knee area when I put pressure on the ball of my foot? There is no bruising or swelling and when i touch or put pressure on the area of my knee it doesn't hurt I've rested it for 2 days and it doesn't seem to have got any better. Do not say i have a disease or something stupid like cancer as this is clearly a physical injury I haven't got a clue whats wrong, it may be a trapped nerve or a slight dislocation, i simply don't know Thanks In Advance :)
What's the best way to reduce compensatory pain? Every now again I get cramp in my left leg when cycling, which causes knee pain. The way my walking compensates for the reduced mobility of my left leg causes really bad pain in my right hip. Is there any way to reduce the pain or stop myself from compensating so much? I'm 26 and fed up of walking like an old man... I think I may have my cycle seat too high when I get the cramping.
