Pain in the left knee while starightenin
I've been having pain in my left knee at a specific place for quite sometime now. When I keep my knees bended for a long time and then straighten it, it pains a lot. The pain is at towards the left of the left knee. Other times, while straightening my leg, I do experience a slight pain which is bearable. P.S. I walk everyday for a kilometer or so.
If you have had an injury in the past, then you may have had a tear in the cartilage,which is causing the pain.
You need to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for assessment and investigations like MRI scan of the knee, to help in further management.
