Knee pain

[Darkplums]

Ever since yesterday I’ve had awful knee pain. I’ve had it in the same area before but milder and for short periods.

The pain is originating in the bottom corner (facing my other knee) of my knee but is making my whole leg uncomfortable. It hurts to bend and when in bed I can’t lie on my side because it’s so painful.

I haven’t had an injury and am taking naproxen which isn’t helping. I’m icing the area and have rested because it’s too painful to walk.

What can I do to make this better please.

See a doctor for an pray and a blood test.

Def see a physio, could be so many things it’s really hard to diagnose from your details. Medial knee pain without trauma can be osteoarthritis flare but there are other things it can be too, dependent on redness, swelling. Range of movement, precise area of pain. Can you self refer to msk in your area? Did your gp refer you?
