Right knee pain
Im 28, suffering from knee pain since more than a month. Started with discomfort while sitting then turn to pain when i stand for 30min. Now its always annoying and I cant walk or stand for long and always disturbing. While standing I feel the tibia its under pressure and hurting and sometimes i feel pain under patella with lots of cracking but no edema. I never been through an accident or practicing extreme sport.
Tests showed RA (-), UA (-), bone density is normal, x-ray is done: a physician said its early OA but orthopedic dr said its not. However the case is not getting better!

Hi..
Your knee pain may be due to muscle imbalance ..that is you calf muscle could have gone tight due to some reason...which in turn could have load front thigh muscles...which is the reason for the noise and pain as patella is subjected to pressure due to tight thigh muscles..
I suggest you to kindly do icing frequently around knee.. u can wrap it up around the knee for a while..slightly knead the tender areas around the patella and inner and outer aspects of knee..and stretch quads by bending your knee touching your heel to butt till you can tolerate pain...
Once pain comes down u can start rehab program...to increase strength and reduce imbalance...
Next Steps
You can have Anti-inflammatory prescribed by orthopaedic to be comfortable in the meanwhile...
Health Tips
keep icing.... don't strain too much
Stretch.. calf ...Back of thigh... front thigh... butt muscles.... frequently...will definitely help u a lot...
hope this will be helpfull..
