Pain in right knee
I suffer pain in my right knee when I try to bend and cross legs while sitting or when I simply try and bend my knee entirely. It also hurts while climbing and running. I wanted to know what kind of ailment could this be? Should I go to a physiotherapist or should I get an X-ray done.
