What does a stab in the knee indicate? What is the reason why there may be a stab in the knee if there is no injury? Could it be a symptom of more serious diseases or conditions? Is it worth going to the doctor? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
What does a stab in the knee indicate?
Hello, I would like to ask what it shows stabbing in the knee? I am asking because such a problem has started to appear in me for a few days. The first time I felt a stab in my knee was when I was walking down the stairs in my apartment building. I didn’t stumble or trip, just putting my leg up I felt a stab in my knee but it passed quickly so I ignored the problem. The stabbing in the knee is not particularly severe, it is rather a feeling of sticking a needle in the middle of the knee. Later the stabbing in my knee appeared so periodically – I felt a prickling in my knee while walking, but it stopped quickly.
I assumed the problem would go away quickly, but the stabbing knee has started to get worse and it worries me a bit. What can be the cause of the stabbing in the knee? I didn’t hit myself, I didn’t fall, nothing happened that could make my knee stab. It is also not that the stabbing in the knee occurs all the time, but rather such moments lasting several to several dozen minutes. However, I am afraid that the stabbing in the knee is a symptom of some more serious problems, but I do not know what its causes may be. What can I expect with such problems?

The doctor explains the causes of the stabbing in the knee
Knee pain may be due to several reasons. Knee pain is a very common ailment that patients struggle with. Symptoms may appear as a result of an injury, degenerative disease, posture defects, overload of the knee joint, or rheumatic disease.
Frequent cause of chronic knee pain is a degenerative disease. The risk of developing the disease increases with age and in obese people. In the treatment of knee pain, it is important to reduce body weight in order to relieve the joints. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of adequate physical activity lead to weakening of the muscles surrounding and stabilizing the joint. That is why it is very important to take care of the daily dose of exercise at any age. Often the reason is the work you are doing, which forces you to stay in a certain position and damages your joints.
Competitive sports that put stress on the joints can lead to osteoarthritis. Another cause may be congenital abnormalities in the construction of the pond. Genetic factors also play a role in the development of osteoarthritis. Pain is characteristic when making movement in the joint, which subsides at rest.
Typically pain occurs when movement begins in the joint. Usually, the greatest intensity of pain is observed at the end of the day. Morning stiffness is common, and this clears up within 10 minutes. In the course of a degenerative disease, periods of stabilization and periods of exacerbation can be observed. If you suspect a degenerative disease, see a doctor, which will allow you to start treatment quickly and prevent the progression of the disease.
It is necessary to establish the diagnosis to determine the patient’s age, concomitant diseases and lifestyle. If the symptoms persist, I suggest going to a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system. The doctor will take a complete history and perform a specialist examination. If necessary, he will order the necessary imaging tests. On this basis, it will be possible to make a diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection.
