What causes radiating pain on the knees?
Patient: Yesterday night I was travelling by bus for 6hrs. I had severe radiating pain in both both the knees and above. I tried all positions but did not improve. After I came home and rested it became alright. What could the reason be. It has never happened before Doctor: Hello,  As the nature of the pain is radiating, it could be due to bad posture there will be a spasm of the muscles of the spine leading to nerve entrapment.   As soon as you came home and rested the pain vanishes as the muscle became relaxed.   This incident indicates there is a weakness of the muscles which stabilize the spinal column. Doing exercises to stabilize the spine will be helpful to avoid future symptoms.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
