Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Your right knee ligament broke and now you are getting pain on the front part of your right knee or left knee? You have written left knee.
If it is happening in the opposite knee then it could be due to that knee taking more strain. That usually happens post an injury. Even though we strengthen the muscles subconsciously our other knee tends to take more strain. Please check it out with a physiotherapist. They may need to release some muscles of the left knee and you should get better.
If your right knee is paining then better to do an x-ray and MRI of the right knee to check for the ligament and other soft tissue condition.
All the best!

Ans: Dear Mr. Dilip Kumar . Thank you for your query. It sounds like you are experiencing intermittent knee pain that worsens after walking about 100 meters, intensifies for the next few hundred meters, and then gradually subsides as you continue. Pain associated with walking in the knee can occur for various reasons, and without knowing your age and medical history, it's essential to consider a few common possibilities. It could be due to osteoarthritis, especially in older adults, where the wear and tear of knee joint cartilage causes pain that may decrease after warming up. Another possibility is patellar tendinitis, involving inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, which causes pain during walking. Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) might also be a factor, especially if the pain is on the outside of the knee. In some cases, pain that starts with walking and improves gradually could point to vascular issues, such as claudication, or a past meniscal injury or ligament strain affecting the knee's stability.

Given the variety of potential causes, it’s crucial to consult with a physiotherapist for a thorough assessment. They can perform a detailed physical examination, recommend appropriate imaging if necessary, and develop a targeted plan for managing the pain. This will help you address the root cause and ensure a quicker and safer recovery.

Ans: Thank you for your query. It sounds like your knee pain occurs primarily at a specific spot when stepping, which can often be due to localized issues like tendon strain, ligament irritation, or cartilage sensitivity. Consulting a physiotherapist would be beneficial, as they can assess the exact location and cause of your pain. They’ll also provide targeted exercises and possible therapies to manage the discomfort and strengthen your knee in a way that supports pain-free movement. Wishing you quick recovery.
