Sharp knee pain in right knee?

See your health care provider as soon as possible (orthopedic). There are two cartilage compartments in the knee--one inner and one outer. If the cartilage wears unevenly, the leg can bow in or bow out.

If you were born with crooked legs, there can be strain that causes the cartilage to wear more rapidly. If you are overweight, you are far more likely to have knee problems. If the knee is unstable and wobbles, or if it cannot be straightened out, you need a doctor.

This is also true if the knee is red or hot, which suggests the possibility of gout or an infection; the knee is the joint most frequently bothered by these serious problems. If there is pain or swelling in the calf below the sore knee, you may have a blood clot. More likely, you have a Baker's cyst.

These cysts start as fluid-filled sacs in an inflamed knee but enlarge through the tissues of the calf and may cause swelling quite a distance below the knee. You should see your doctor for this condition. If the tear in the meniscus, the knee's shock-absorbing cartilage, doesn't heal on its own.

To facilitate healing, avoid activities that causes pain in the knee, treat your knee with an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). If that doesn't ease the discomfort, it's generally better not to wait for the pain and the tear to get worse before turning to surgery. Listen to the pain message and try not to do anything that aggravates the pain.

If you have arthritis, make sure you are taking your medication as directed. Otherwise, acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen may be used to ease the pain. See your doctor if pain remains after six weeks.

I hope this helps you. And good luck.

It might be cartilage damage. Rest the knee and ice it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
