Mynyel Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have a pain in the knee. :) Is seems around the area of the lateral collateral ligament. It can hurt sometimes just walking but most of the time it hurts when I make a right hand turn when walking (unless I am walking slow) or when I try to sit cross legged. It started a few weeks ago, went away, and is now back and hasn't gone away again. Well unless I have a day off from work. I suspect being on my feet all day hasn't helped. I haven't been to the doctor. No insurance and won't spend the money for it on something like this. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhjmom Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It could be iliotibial band syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have arthritis in both knees, right being worse. I get more pain in certain spots, like those you mention, especially when I cross my legs. Medical treatment helps me significantly, primarily via a set of 4 Orthovist shots every 8-9 months. I know you said you can't get medical treatment, for which I'm sorry to hear, that was the only thing that helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
