What causes sharp pain behind right knee?
Patient: i keep having a sharp pain behind the right knee...feels like a vein pulling, very wierd feeling. Then I stood up and walked to my kitchen and had absolutley no sense of balance. I was dizzy and falling to the right without control. What could this be? Doctor: Hello,  Sharp shooting pain can be due to ligament instability. Take hot water fermentation and do knee exercises. You should be fine.   In case the pain is not coming down for a week or so then an MRI is advised to rule out the possible soft tissue injuries.  Feeling dizzy and having no control could be due to low blood sugar and has nothing to do with the knee injury.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
