For some time, for example, sitting in one position for a long time or during high activity, my left knee hurts.
The pains are once severe and weaker and have such a strange dull character. They also bother me at night while sleeping. I am asking for advice on what to do with it and what could be the reason for it.
Pains appearing during prolonged sitting (with bent knees) may indicate the so-called Kinoman’s knee. This is a problem that occurs in the patellofemoral joint, most often due to muscle overload or imbalance. The joint is, as the name suggests, between the kneecap and the femur and carries the most loads (per unit area) of all joints. A problem in the patellofemoral joint may also appear when walking with heels, squats or aerobics.
Night-time pain can often be a sign of inflammation of the structures surrounding the knee, such as an overgrown synovial fold or goose foot muscle tendon inflammation.
The symptoms that you mentioned, however, do not clearly indicate a specific disease entity. It is important to do additional research so that your knee treatment can be well targeted. I recommend that you visit a specialist and perform an ultrasound examination.
