What causes pain in knee area?
Patient: My problem started with pain from the top of my thigh to my knee. Now the pain is concentrated in my knee area. I can t sleep on my side as the pain really intensifies then. I can sleep in a recliner with little pain. But if I am on my leg too long it starts to pain. I have been taking Aleve for a week and the pain still persists. Have had an x-ray and blood work and nothing has shown up. Any advice or ideas as to what this is? Doctor: Meet a orthopaedician get examination of ur knee done and later furthur mri or other investigations  if needed to diagnose your knee problem With just your short history diagnosis is difficult
