Pain in side of Knee Cap?
Question:
How did i get this, and what should i do to stop the pain
Answers:
Obviously, check this out with your doctor.
But, for what it's worth, sounds like cartilage trouble. Possibly just wear and tear on the knee joint. If it doesn't get any worse, fine. If it starts to hurt, you might need a knee arthroscopy.
I had this done as a day patient, was walking on crutches next day, without crutches within the week and resumed normal activity within a month. It's sorted the problem completely! Nothing to be scared of!
Try Ibruofen, if you can take them. If it persists consult your GP
You could have IT band snydrom, or patello femoral syndrome. Either way it sounds like you could use a massage.
do you have any swelling around your knee? if you do or don't you need to go and get it check out by your doctor. there might be a chance you have torn something.
go see a doctor
