- Knee pain location can often tell you what type of knee pain you have. If you confirm that with common symptoms and what aggravates it… you can get a pretty good idea of ‘why my knee hurts’. So, here’s a quick look at the most common type of knee problems.
0:00 Intro
0:11 Pain at the front of the knee (Pain in kneecap)
0:42 Pain below kneecap
1:40 Pain on inside of knee
3:05 Pain below knee on inside
3:29 Pain on outside of knee
3:28 Pain above knee
3:28 Pain behind knee

If you’re asking yourself ‘what’s the cause of my knee pain?’ or ‘what kind of knee pain do I have?’ (so that you can look up solutions to your knee pain on CZcams) the position of your knee pain will tell you a lot.
THE MOST COMMON KNEE PAIN TYPES?
Knee pain during running (or actually kneecap pain while running) is usually just that… Runner’s Knee (PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME, or it’s old name: Chondromalacia Patella) If you get knee pain while cycling it will often be the same thing. Same with knee pain with stairs.
Knee pain while squatting could be Runner’s Knee, but if you get pain in the tendon below the kneecap, it’s more likely to be Patellar Tendonitis or Jumper’s Knee.
Meniscus Tears will give you pain on the inside of the knee that is a localised pain, can feel as if it gets stuck, or feel like it’s going to give way, and often it’s hard to fully straighten or fully bend your knee.
Knee pain on the outside of the knee is usually Iliotibial Band Syndrome
ALSO COVERED:
Infrapatellar Fat Pad Syndrome (Hoffa's Syndrome)
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Medial Collateral Ligament Tear
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Osteoarthritic Knee Pain
Pes Anserine Bursitis.
Quadriceps Tendinopathy
Popliteus Strain
Baker’s Cyst
ACL Or PCL Tear/Rupture

pov: your watching this while your knee hurts
🤣 you got me bro 😭
noooo..... fine..... darn it!! I can't lie
That's genius right there. How on earth could you guess that?
no fucking shit sherkock 😮😮😮😮😮
😂😂😂 True story 😁
Thank you for actually showing the Knee and locations. Most videos show pictures or diagrams, and explanations that are hard to relate to for the average person. Your video helps quickly diagnose the possible issue with a REAL Knee!
Glad it was helpful!
You are great explaining the different types and location of knee pain. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
*THANK YOU*...
Went to the runners knee video afterwards and couldn't be more grateful!
Excellent!
Great video, thanks! There are so many videos out there on how to treat specific kinds of knee pain, but this is the only clear one I've found to help diagnose which kind of pain I have in the first place. Invaluable!
Glad it was helpful!
Found your videos very informative. I have knee pain around the knee cap and back. Can't straighten it without killing me. Had x rays and doing pt after working 10 to 11hours a day, sometimes 7 days and still hurts ! Thank you for at least showing me what it could be! Much appreciated from Spokane, Washington ! Oh and I go up and down stairs
Good luck with it!
Thank you! I am getting a very VERY painful outer knee and it is probably the outer tendon. I have severe arthritis and severe degenerative bone disease, but this is a pain I have never felt. It is sharp, agonizing, and feels like someone has lit a match and is burning me from the inside. Your explanation is better than any other I have seen.
Nicely done. As someone who treats these conditions, this was an excellent review.
Thank you very much
Excellent video.
Very descriptive yet concise.
I found it to be just the right amount of detail to help people determine the kind of pain they may be experiencing.
Much appreciated!
So what.???
Without being so long as to dissuade any from watching :)
Finally, an explanation of pain in all areas of the knees!!
Thank you for a concise explanation of the possibilities. I wouldn't say any of these match mine, though. I have always been active through sports and outdoor activities, so at age 60+ my joints have seen their share of use. I have noticeable general swelling across the knee above the joint, stiffness to the point of limited motion, and a pain throughout the joint when under stress to the point I no longer trust a natural stride on stairs. An orthopedic surgeon took x-rays and diagnosed reduced cartilage to a point of near bone-on-bone and the associated joint irritation. I don't understand though the soft tissue issues surrounding the joint.
General swelling, stiffness, and general pain certainly sounds like osteoarthritis. This puts stress on the local soft tissue, for sure, and can result in inflammation too.
Osteoarthritis is hard to help.
Decreasing any foot over-pronation, and any reduced ankle mobility, might help.
The only video that has explained Pes Anserine Bursitis. Nowhere have I been able to find out what that pain is, not even from specialists. Thank you so much.
It's surprisingly common. Glad to help. Sorry I don't have a video on how to fix it yet, but it's on my video list.
Same, finally I know what the heck I'm dealing with!
Where does it come from?
I can't figure out if I've got pes anserine bursitis or a torn meniscus. Maybe I have both in different knees
Thank you!! Very short and crisp video. It’s also full of very important differences. Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Just a pleasure to view your posts. Qualified, to the point and informative. Thanks again !
So nice! Thank you!
Great video! Very clear and well explained without a profusion of irrelevant talking. Well done.
Thanks!
42 seconds and I already learned what my issue is... I don't do much running anymore and do mostly cycling/walking but I started doing squats and I get that pain so... thanks! Looking at that vid on how to fix it!
Good luck with it Adam!
which one was it?
@@Msteez Runner's knee. Used to run when younger, started doing strength exercises (including lots of squats) and started getting a pain at my knee-cap. Turns out cycling for 6 hours a week and doing lots of squats can lead to interesting results... massaging the quad and a few stability exercises fixed it.
@@adam346 can you share what the stability exercises were?
@@Msteez I used boards to angle my feet to 25 degrees (more or less) and did squats that way, bout 15 x 3 sets a day to start and did some quad extensions on a machine at the gym mostly. I also think that slow-down in intensity probably allowed it to heal more than the actual building of stability... getting old sucks. Am 36 btw and worked out/did sports my entire life so knee pain is not unusual but I would prefer to not have it if at all possible... I also started skating again so not sure if that had something to do with it.
I had Osgood-Schlatter Disease as a kid, now 40 years later after the shutdown and loss of leg strength I have knee pain in the same knee from adolescence. Your video helped a lot. Thanks.
No worries👍
This was so helpful! Thanks for making such a straightforward informational video.
You're welcome!
Omg .
You are amazing at explaining all the knee pains.
I've done every injury to both of my knees
From breaking my knee, ACL, PCL in both knees smashing my knee cap you name it I've had it.
I've had loads of surgery and years of physio over the years this mostly to sport and some silly moments in my life.
I just trying to stop the pain and how not to aggravate my knees, shopping trolleys after worst and shiny floors as well as high heels your small adjustments makes a massive difference
I think how you explained the pain in the knee has been very helpful and more of it should be in doctors surgeries to help patients
Thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks Yvonne, you're very kind. You really have done everything haven't you? I thought you must have been a professional skier, or some hardcore sports maniac to do all that! Yikes!
@@BodyFixExercises
No skiing but Judo, trampolining,gymnastics, rugby coaching All sports coaching and fitness.
The funny injuries are my German Shepherd ran and head-butted my knee, fly fishing, shopping at Tesco's with a trolley,climbing a tree and slipping in the bath. There are some more .
I was told by my consultant that I was the first woman in Shropshire to do double ACL.
He had contacts with professional brace makers and I had to special braces made very lightweight
I could carry on working wearing them,even on the trampoline and the other sports.

Again thankyou for your great video.
Stay safe. X
So very helpful, I have two meniscus tears, I thought I was getting a reaction while doing squats, no more squats for me. Thank you for the info 😉
Congrats for a complete and very useful video!
I love how you reply to everyone! Nice and methodical explanations too.
I try! It takes a lot of time but I love to hear people's stories. 🙌
I feel like everything was covered BUT what i'm experiencing 😢
Great video, I had a feeling it was nothing too bad, glad to know it’s just a sprain
Cheers Bob
Very helpful for this year's long pain. Thank you
You're so welcome!
This was a very helpful video about understanding knee injury, swelling, and a better understanding what issues are happening. Thank you very informative!!!
No worries!
Great video! Strangely I don't have any knee pain during normal everyday activities, but when I don't get enough sleep I *always* have pain in my left knee like with patellar tendonitis...
Wow. Interesting
I also have leg pain when I don't get enough sleep
Same
Outer knee pain, but only when it's cold out. This is a very well done video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Try to wear UGG boots.
One of my kneecaps ( just that bone) has been crushed, no surgery available, I was hoping a similar injury might be addressed. Thank you for helping those you could / my prayers go out for everyone else, too💞
🙏🧡
This is one of the most visually informative physio video I have ever seen.
And, it has also semi eased my mind that I havent torn/strained my meniscus but rather have irritated the per anserine (have the puffyness you in the area you pointed at).
Pes Anserine issues are surprisingly common.
Slow, body weight, Sumo Squats can really help, by eccentrically stretching the muscles that attach to that area. (As long as you can do it comfortably.) And icing the area👍
Thanks for knee tips and the channel! :)
Hope someday there'll be a video for strengthening weak hips. Seems that they add pressure to knees.
Yes, hips affect knees a lot. I've already done the video! This exercise is awesome for hips and glutes. Changed my life... czcams.com/video/Q48eY3VlQF4/video.html
@@BodyFixExercises thanks! Tried this today, worked like magic to me. May the force be with you 🌞
Great video! You explain everything so interesting. Thank you. Can you do a video on Achilles tendons? I’ve had two surgery’s and I still don’t understand what happened.
Here you go!

I really found this helpful. Currently solving a knee pain - I think caused by not walking regularly, then walking too much. It is improving. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos, always gives me a starting point to attempt to alleviate pain, your videos have saved me a bunch of money at the doctor!
Great! Glad to be of assistance! 🙌
Thanks for the video, ive been wondering what was wrong with my right knee.I bent down one day, went to stand up and my knee was stuck so I kinda kicked it out straight and it hurt a little, nothing terrible. It lingered though and happened 2 more times in the next couple months. It eventually went away to the point where I forgot about it, so I joined a jiu jitsu class and literally the first time I bent down my knee locked up so I once again kinda kicked it out but I did as discretely as possible bc it was embarrassing to be the new guy and cant straighten his leg before he gets to practice anything! Needless to say I quit after that and now Im pretty much good to go.
Interesting story! 'The leg kick guy of jiu jitsu'! 😆
Lol
I get quad tendonitis and iliotibial band syndrome. It's all because of my back (which was injured.) Never hurt my knees. I find that yoga has made a major improvement. This is a very informative video. Thank you!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Ugh that IT band can suck it. I’ve been dealing with that issue for years.
Try to stretch and strength while stretched, your iliopsoas and your quads mostly the rectus femoris. you can thank me later ;) while you hurt your back your hip had to tighten up, so in the front thats regulated alot from the rectus femoris. which also is the cause of most knee problems around the front of the knee. jumpers knee, knee pain above patella etc.
I might have to try yoga. I get nerve pain in my back, I've had whiplash from a car accident years ago, and now my right knee is acting up, just on the outside of it, with crunchy sounds. It sounds terrible. It hurts to sit and get back up.
Same here yes coming from back
Thanks, very helpful to know what you have.
Very useful and clear descriptions. I was able to identify a couple of issues.
Glad it helped!
Omgosh THANK YOU! I have a Meniscus tear!!! Definitely! You described it exactly! I don’t want to pay for an MRI, because I live in the States and Healthcare is outrageous. I’m going to try to google to see if there’s anything I can do to help it and not make it worse.
Ok. Good luck! If the tear is in the outer 1/3 of the meniscus it can heal over time
Yes, I’m in the same boat.. I can’t afford to get an MRI but I think it’s a Meniscus for me too
Mines is the outer part of the knee pain when bending it or sitting too long at my desk at work and have to get up
@@shardewashington9006 it should be like $800 some places, maybe less, which is expensive but probably worth it if you can save. How long has it been?
@Kingxcarbone holy hell 800 bucks for them to be wrong too? 😳
I was diagnosed after many many years with PFS. The best way to describe the pain is like my knee caps are burning when I do squats, walk up stairs etc. I workout but find leg days challenging when they include lots of squats, lunges etc. Working on strengthening my glutes and abductors (outside ones?) as they are weak and my previous physio said that was contributing to the pain. Definitely quad dominant, although they also hurt during some exercises. Not to mention my right knee sounds like a bowl of rice crispies whenever I have to squat down for anything lol. Just need to find some exercises to help strengthen now which don't take too long as my schedule is already busy!

If you're short on time just do the outer thigh rub
@@BodyFixExercises I will give it a try! My outer quad is really painful when rubbed so maybe that is the fix I need!
Had a patella dislocation around October last year during training. Got back to training around February, and it wasn't untill recently that I've felt the area above my kneecap hurt while doing everyday things like walking, bending my knees and climbing up stairs. It's good that there are people in the world willing to make a short video on this type of things. Stay Blessed ❤
👍🙏
Thank you so much! ❤ You have been more helpful than a bunch of doctors and an MRI ❤️
Happy to help!
What a brilliant way to help us diagnose ourselves. I instantly picked my complaint and yes, I am female and overweight. Thank you so much for your forward thinking.
Glad to help! 🙌
I'm a male at 6'2" 180 and in good shape, but 39 years old. I learned today that I might also be a women and over-weight because my knee has been bothering me in this same spot the last couple days.
What a great video. Thank you so much, man. Google is almost useless these days. First time I've ever seen iliotibial band syndrome even with all those advanced search phrases and techniques, but it feels unbelievable finally knowing what's happening. Thought I was low on synovial fluid and close to early arthritis with the clicking and crunching. Both knees sometimes too. Was upping glucosamine and glycine, hoping for the best. Best wished to you, and subbed.
The first thing I would try is the outer thigh rub from this video...
czcams.com/video/g0qmx_0enAA/video.html
Good luck with it! 🙌
One of the most useful videos I have found. After my hip replacement my knee acted up on the same leg. Now that the swelling has gone, I now have a chance to investigate where the pain is coming from. I get a bit of EDS but not sure if this is the clicking and discomfort I have been feeling. Thank you so much.
Happy to help!
@@BodyFixExercises I get something similar only that the inside muscle is extremely thin and painful at times I need to strengthen it
Loved your explanation. Really helped me understand my pain.
Excellent!
The meniscus tear is exactly what I have thought I had for years. I fell directly on my knee and heard a pop. This was in 2010. I didn’t have insurance so I never got it checked out.
I have a physical job so that knee hurt for about a year. Over the years of strength training it, it only bothers me maybe once a month depending on my activity levels. I even have done multiple half marathon and 1 marathon on it and it’s been not bad.
One day I think I’ll have it confirmed with an MRI if it ever gets worse. That spot inside the knee is where the pain originates. Often at night if my leg pillow doesn’t stay in between there that spot will be sore.
You can definitely live with a meniscus tear. There are various forms and shapes of tear, and with strengthening you can get by
How is that even possible. I don't believe that at all.
@@entitiessoul what is not possible
@@justduro1527 your tear kneecap and can function daily without any limitations.
@@entitiessoul he didnt teared his kneecap (nor you can because its bone), he tore his meniscus which you can live without much problem even with a tore meniscus (depending of the severity)
A bit surprised OCD wasn't on the list. Having had OCD grad iv on both knees for over 20 years i can say i have multiple sorts of pain around knees (and my whole body) since most of exercises are too painful to do. But being under 55 yrs i am glad i have managed this far without knee replacements. When spotted early enough it could have not gotten this bad as releasing tendons would have allowed the knee cap to be on the correct place. But thanks to general doctors if they don't know where/what to look for they tend to classify it as mental problem. Maybe not everywhere but these kind of diagnoses are given often in Finland. Sadly. And now i try to avoid the people in white coats and white uniforms as much as possible.
Yes, you're right, I probably should have included Osteochondritis Dissecans. And fibula head restriction. The joy of hindsight.
I have popliteus strain and have a bakers cyst with arthritis . I have had a mri which confirms I have a meniscus tear but a holistic approach I avoided surgery . You described each pain throughly so thanks 😊
👌👍
Good analysis!!! Thanks - I've been dealing with an out calf up to the outer knee - seems like the iliotibial!!!
I have almost everything you mentioned. Thank you for explaining that. One of my biggest problems is the back of my knee. If I stretch too much with my knee fully straight, it feels like I almost pulled the back of my knee like a pulled muscle, and it will last for a few hours, or days. Then it's like nothing happened until my next yoga class. Any advice would be great, other than quit doing yoga. haha
Sounds like a Gastrocnemius strain (muscle or tendon) which is the calf muscle that crosses the back of the knee. Just look up "Gastrocnemius Rehab" on CZcams.
@@BodyFixExercises You rock! Thank you!
Popiltus
I have IT BAND, OSTEOARTHRITIS, chodromalacia, baker cyst, and more
I have something very similar in back of knee and bunching sensation when bend it… and weight on knee causes pain on both side’s of it and clicking! Joy ! 🤣
Right now it’s been 8 months since I had a motorcycle accident injury to my right knee. No torn meniscus, ACL, or anything else just massive swelling from impact. I’ve been doing physical therapy at home myself. I’ve experienced muscle wasting in the entire right leg loss of about 2 inches circumference around thigh and 1 inch on calf. leg extensions give pain under kneecap when locked. Even right now I can still not touch my heel to my butt , I can only get up 90° then begin to feel a slight ache and very tight in the knee.
Man, that sounds tough. But if there is no structural damage you should get back to your best with rehab.
You got an mri?
this video really helped me figure out my pain. i have been experiencing it the oast few times doing sprint workouts and cant figure what the cause and area of pain. thank you for the video
Glad it helped!
Very interesting and concise information. Thank you.
Very welcome!
Very useful, thank you!
Judging by the symptoms described, I had a meniscus tear that magically healed by itself just like that😅
Sometimes, a tear in the cartilage will lift and bend into a position that gives you symptoms. But if you're lucky it can sometimes flatten out again and the symptoms can go away. Hopefully it stays like that!
I have the typical arthritis in my knees. Worse when I stand up after sitting for a while. I call them my stupid knees.
I bet they're really good knees in a tough situation. Give them some love. Rub your lower ITB tract daily for a week and see if you feel an improvement.... czcams.com/video/g0qmx_0enAA/video.html
Stupidkneeitis runs in my family
I know I knew a replacement, but timing is really bad… my worst issue is the pain & inability to stand & bear weight on this knee after sitting! Doesn’t matter really how long I sit. But it’s a painful, scary & frustrating issue! I can’t get out of car & stand after sitting!!
Warming up knees with a heat pad and then a knee wrap in the morning helps me warm up my knee
Above my knee hurts when I stand up from squatting. It's sharp pain. It's stays sore if I squat alot through the day.
Great video all inconclusive about various knee pains.
Wow this is amazing. You are a very knowledgeable man.
Cheers!
Thanks so much for this video, just seen it. 38yr old UK male, had knee MRI 2018 (nothing to see I’m told other than age appropriate wear and tear). Had to stop running five years ago due to awful pain on joint line inner edge, both knees. Ran all my life, was doing two 10ks a week in 2018 after a three year pause and then after three months, bang, unable to walk due to pain and eventually realised it was the running/knees. Stopped that and it went gradually. Have cycled ever since which is fine but doctors told me at the time that it was bursitis - yes the PES was a bit sore but nothing like the whole meniscus. I’d love to be able to run again as the cycling does nothing for my bone density. Interested if you had any pointers.
For inner knee pain like that, on both sides, at your age, with clear MRI... I'd be looking at your feet and hips. These three things will cause inner knee pain:
1. Foot over pronation
2. Restricted ankle movement
3. Glute Medius weakness
These 2 videos cover all three of those things...

I woke up from surgery on a shoulder and started screaming in pain. Despite still being heavily influenced by the anaesthetic I was able to name the area of muscle in pain, the Iliotibial band which must have confused the hell out of the surgery staff. However I trained a ladies soccer team, which included a number of nurses and they taught me what the muscle was that was hurting and how to prepare it for competition. I believe that being on my side for the surgery, the muscle was overstretched for the length of the surgery causing the pain.
Sounds terrible!
@@BodyFixExercises Training nurses for soccer. It was terrifying, the stories and conversations they have.
So nicely described the knee and knee related pain. I experienced all these pain. Thank u
You're most welcome
Omg it helped thank u sooooo much I was having a hard time due to runners knee and i couldnt even walk properly for days but now I feel much better
Awesome! (I gather your watched my Runner's knee video?)
I've been dealing with various knee issues since I was 12. I couldn't remember the names of them but your video identified them nicely. I progressed from Osgood-Schlatter Disease to Patellar Tendonitis to Pes Anserine Bursitis and knee surgery and led to Patellar tracking disorder and Osteoarthritic Knee Pain with the occasional burst of Quadriceps Tendinopathy mixed inbetween.
I thought I had had it all but this video shows there's a few issues yet to appear on my knee pain bingo card.
Really?? Sounds like the full monty😳
Wow hope u feel ok most days
I am a ice hockey player and slid into the boards very hard with knees first. A week later I noticed that on top of the knee cap it was almost a tingly burning feeling playing basketball. Playing ice hockey it doesn’t hurt when playing but it does when I fall on my knees. Also, anything that impacts that spot hurts pretty bad and kinda feel that burning feeling too but only for a few seconds. I didn’t feel this till a week after the collision. It’s been hurting for about 3 weeks but has got slightly better. This is on my left knee. Any idea what this could be?
Probably Bursitis. Bursa a little sacs of fluid that sit over the knee to stop the tendons from rubbing too much. The impact probably inflamed them. There are various bursa. So, for example, depending on location you make have a bit of Prepatellar Bursitis or Infra patellar bursitis or supra patellar bursitis
Amazing video! Thank you. This helped me identify my issue immediately.
I've been having a slight pain around my outer knee, extending down to my calves. I have no medical knowledge whatsoever but I figured it was related to something that goes from my thigh all the way to my ankles as I can touch the specific pain/irritated points as a long line.
Now I learned its the IT band issue.
I''m a new runner (just finished a year of consistent running last week) and planning to run for the rest of my life so this video would definitely save me a lot of issues down the line.
Once again, Thanks a lot.
🙌👍 good on you
Hi there - I'm experiencing the same type of pain you were. Is that a procedure to fix the issue?
@@Ash-xu7nu From what I found researching on my own, you basically have to cut down your run mileage, do some stretching and strengthen the specific muscles/joints around the IT band.
Safest is to take a complete break for about 4 weeks.
In my case, that's way too long of a break so I kept running but with my runs more than half shorter (depending on when the pain starts).
And switching out runs with walks alternate days.
Now I'm almost recovered without having to take that long break from working out.
If you're interested, just check out my newest upload tomorrow.
I'll talk about all my stretches and recovery in detail.
Last week I started a random talk video everyday challenge for myself so I'll just do tomorrow's for you :)
Had meniscus surgery for tears right knee, both inside and outside (medial and lateral?), was good for a year or so, now get a stabbing pain if I crouch and walk downhill. Or if I ride my wide built horse and raise in the stirrups at the trot. Doc did say I have arthritis in both knees. Both have swelling and make that grinding noise which I can both feel with my hands and hear. Day to day I feel fine until I do something that makes it mad, then I get that sharp pain that stops as soon as I end the movement. PS I am glad I got the surgery because I was so crippled I couldn't bend my legs when walking.
I've got bone cancer, I've had MRI and ultrasound of the right knee. No one can explain this crippling pain that I get in the medial side of my knee. I'm now beginning to get this pain in the same location but on the left knee. I've just had a full spinal MRI as they think it could be nerve compression due to cancer. I also have Mets throughout my spine and in both hips. Cancer is throughout my skeleton. But this crippling pain is out of this world. I scream when it happens..they tell me there is nothing wrong with my knee or maybe a little arthritis,..but I am at wits end when this pain happens. Surely if it's arthritis I'd be experiencing this pain all the time!
Check your sciatic nerve.
Hey Tania. Geez , I feel for you. I doubt the pain is arthritis. It would be pretty constant if it was, as you say. Sounds like it's probably nerve irritation from cancer in the spinal canal. Sorry I can't be of more help.
@@johnnygizmo1130 an epiphany moment when I read your comment about checking my sciatic nerve…. as a matter of fact my sciatic nerve has been bothering me longer than my knee pain 😳 Now I will be addressing my sciatic nerve more diligently to see if that helps , Thank You 😊
Ho Tania! I hope you read my message.
Read the book “The Emotion Code” by Bradley Nelson and try the technique.
It might be that trapped emotion is causing your knew pain.
Try even if you are skeptical and let me know what happens
As another person who screams in pain, let me say that there's not "nothing wrong" or "a little" of anything. You know that, but just in case it helps to hear someone validate it.
Hey Doc Thanks for the video. As far as I manage to understand I have the pain just below the patella tendon at the point it joins with the patella (lower side) and I have problems in my angle (same leg) while I squat it feels tight (my best guess is mobility issue) and I have some stiffness where my femur joins with my pelvis (maybe because of sitting too long with bad posture)
I took Vitamin-D with Calcium as it was suggested by an orthopedic but It didn't help. He did some x-rays of my knee and concluded my bones are in good shape and there isn't hairline crack or something of that sort.
Is this a mobility issue which can be fixed with exercises? any help will be appreciated and Thanks for the content on CZcams.
It's hard to say without examining it, but it sounds like the knee issue is coming from the ankle or the hip. This is very common. (Also be aware that flat feet could be the cause.)
Definitely do the ankle mobility exercises at the 0:34 mark of this video... czcams.com/video/Rw4EvUEAEz4/video.html
Weak lateral stabilising gluteal muscles in another big possibility so try the exercises in this video... czcams.com/video/Q48eY3VlQF4/video.html
There's a good chance that between those two videos you could find your solution. Good luck!
Really helpful video. In my case I have a really weird sharp pain around (maybe inside) the knee whenever I move in a way that applies torsion to the knee.
Hmmm. Meniscus? Popliteus? (which locks the knee) What did you decide?
Thank you for this have shared it with a few of my pilates clients that are stubborn when it comes to seeing a professional about their knee issues
👍🙏
Have osteoarthritis in my knee for a number of years, but haven't had pain for a long time, just the grinding noise when climbing stairs. However I learned a week ago that running (had to do a mad dash to remove something off the road), is not a good idea. Unable to squat down without pain for past week. So here's a tip. If you have osteoarthritis, don't run 👍
Good tip!!
Thanks for the useful info sir ..I have knee pain in medial side of my knees .and also front part ..but as u said in 1st ptellofemoral syndrome there is slight pain while sqauting too also little sound coming while flexing knee...usually it had subsided but again started after long standing ..can it b due to more weight?also after long hours of cross sitting also there is pain while extending legs which used to b not thr earlier 🙂any advice would be great 😇
Extra weight certainly isn't going to help. Sitting with your legs crossed pushes the kneecap into the bones underneath, so definitely start there. I couldn't say more without examining it sorry
@@BodyFixExercises thank u 😇
Thank's for the great information 😊
My pleasure 🙌
very enlightning i fell and know i know what is wrong informative indeed
I had extremely intense, sudden knee pain - to the point I couldn’t walk to toilet close by. Went to ER via ambulance - was in surgery within 5 hours of arriving. Was septic arthritis. Was in hospital for 15 days on IV antibiotics. Still feeling the effects 6 mths later
Wow. That's very serious.
😮
Holy heck. Hope you OK. I swear I have an infection in knee along with the injuries. Have appt Friday.. oh my..like how did ya feel and what happened to cause this if you don't mind me asking
Baker’s cysts don’t necessarily show as puffy. I had the surgery and the surgeon couldn’t get over how extremely large it was nor could the woman that did the ultra sound, she kept saying it was like a lake, but no sign when looking at the back of my knee.
Apparently 15% of ppl that have the correction done will have it reoccur and I unfortunately was one of those 😞
Yes, Baker's cysts can be deceptively large. Are you going to get another surgery on it?
@@BodyFixExercises and they sometimes aren’t detectable from looking....no swelling.
I’ve found I can ease the problem on my own and I’m not vaccinated so they wouldn’t let me in the hospital even if I wanted.
I do wonder if sitting too much and having circulation impaired by chair or from crossing legs isn’t part of the problem.
My husband has a large odd lumpy thing on the back of his calf. I suspect it's a cyst. It's never bothered him and he's a runner. He doesn't see it because he doesn't look at the back of his leg. It would bother me, Lol.
@@creativegirl9710 that doesn’t sound like a bakers cyst
Wow 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 so many golden nuggets here. I found the 'Pes Anserine Bursitis'. This explains why I feel it around my menstrual cycle, and it is a major point on the spleen meridian, which also gets tender before and during the menstrual cycle.
glad to help!
FABULOUS video! Thank you so much. What a huge help.
You are so welcome!

It sounds like a version of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, so it should be quite fixable. Here's my video on how to fix it... czcams.com/video/g0qmx_0enAA/video.html
Your Rectus Femoris muscle may be very tight too, pressing your kneecap onto your knee, especially in the flexed position. So you should try to relax that muscle, and loosening the knots, with the techniques shown in this video (I've put the timestamp to take you to the right part of the video) czcams.com/video/viRSZ7R2YaE/video.html
Using a muscle massage gun on the Rectus Femoris too. (I have a video on using a massage gun on the legs too).
Hope that helps.
I just hurt my left knee playing tennis.. I stretched out my left left and went down on my left knee to hit a deckhand and got a SHARP pain through my leg and to my knee, it felt kind of like it locked up or was just EXTREMELY tense and it was really painful. Then I had to do another backhand and I did the same thing and my knee just gave weight and I couldn't support my body weight or put any weight on my left leg, I could barely bend it. I couldn't serve or do more than a 40% bend without having extremely sharp pain.
Do I have a tear or what could this be? Pain feels like location wise inside and a bit to the right of the middle of the knee (stretched out it's in the "holes" to the right of the knee cap right at the bottom towards your body)
Pes anserine bursitis
My pain is around the knee cap, i can't stretch forward but can stretch back and going down stairs is very painful, taken painkillers for over two months now no change. Kindly help
I often get knee pain when going up stairs. Particularly after a recent run. If I haven’t run for a few days it’s fine.
I learned something today: Never do sports.
😆
And get it more😂😂
I never do any sports in my adult life. I don’t even exercise. Yet split on ice and sprained my knee.😅
😂should have warned me
Yeah I have been playing basketball and I got a above my knee injury
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks you
You're very welcome!🙌
Great vid. Started playing walking football 9 months ago and it’s far from walking and on Astro turf. My left knee is showing some signs of things on here and it just seemed to appear after I’d pulled a calf muscle which then caused me hobble for a few days and then my knee started playing up. Hope it heals soon as I miss my football 👍
Good luck Ivor

Didn't see it until now. Wondered why people were commenting,🤣
@@BodyFixExercises Thanks for posting these by the way. The one you posted about should blade/rib pain has really helped me. 👍
Thank you for explaining the differences Praying to God for healing my inner knee pain that comes ccx and goes.
🙏🙏🙏
Very good explantions of the various knee issues and I havent seen as good a one in all the other knee vids I have seen -
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for video. Straight to the point. Really terrific.
Cheers!
Great video! First time watching. Very pleased with your information and presentation. Thanks!! Cheers!!
Thank you very much, Rachel!
This is an awesome video! Excellent explanations! Please do one on lower spine issues.
Hmmmmm. Good idea!
Great video. Lots of good information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
I have multiples if not all of those symptoms and one knee. I've been dealing with this for months and I'm still waiting to go to my primary doctor to have her give me the test results from my MRI which was done almost 2 months ago
Great! I remember having osgood schattler disease when I was a child, but nobody diagnosed it at that time!
Loving your gentle explanation-better
understanding helps have an educated conversation w doctor..they always want to pile you up with medication & surgery...it help with decision making..on treatments for everyday living- I live with this body singularly.
My pain talks to me..there is a great difference between a groan, cry, tantrum or electrical spark..listen to your body's check engine light.
Thank you...
👍
excellent thanks it help identify my chronic pain
thank you
Glad it helped!
That's a nice visual representation. I used to have a stinging pain around where the vmo connects to the knee when attempting to deep squat and around the outside of the left knee. According to the mri there weren't problems, but I was really worried for a while that it was a meniscus issue. I'm sill being careful not to overly force the knees but it's great that now I can sit in a deep squat and even jog on ground without feeling pain.
For anyone with any kind of knee pain, don't get discouraged, find exercises that you can do without using the painful area first to stimulate circulation and strengthen the muscles and then start to slowly ease into more complex exercises and before you realize it you'll be able to do things you couldn't do before the pain.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had Quadriceps Tendinopathy, did you?
@@BodyFixExercises I didn't get such a diagnostic so I don't know. But I might look into it. Thank you
GREAT explanation! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your video suha a great topic and you have covered it beautifully ...thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great easy description for non specialists
🙌👍
On my way to your other runners knee video thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I have chronic knee Tendonitis in both knees. I stopped squatting weights and the knee pain is exactly the same. I went on an all meat, ultra-low carb diet and still the same. Short of going PRP and Stem Cell Therapy. I can't seem to find anyone who discusses viable rehabilitation techniques. The fact that you even mentioned it is rare, so thank you for that!
Tendon pain responds very slowly but if you do the right thing it'll get there. Watch this...

Thank you sir, absolutely amazing information. Very helpful!!@@BodyFixExercises
I hope you can make a similar type of video about the different types of shoulder pain & what causes them.
Interesting idea! 👍
This is the most thorough video of knee pain. I have had knee pain most of my life. It kills when i do squats but everyone tells me ...including Phy. Therapists dont stop doing squats.
If it's tendinopathy, you don't need to stop. If it's patella pain you should. Check these two videos out ...
