Knee Pain
Dear Dr.
I have a knee pain on my left knee whenever I climb stairs only. I do not have the pain while sitting standing or walking. It's a sharp pain. It had been there for about 2 months now. I do not have any other serious ailments. I'm not very active though. I'm overweight. Non-vegetarian.
Please help.
