Knee Pain = patella disjunction???

If the region just above your knee causes you pain when you go up the stairs, what is that indicative of please?

thnx a lot!!!!

You must consult an orthopedist or a physiatrist for this matter. There could be a lot of factors causing this pain. It could be a strain in your quadriceps muscle. A band of muscles that is attached in some way to your patella. It could also be a strain in any of your ligaments that support your knees.

For initial comfort, you could try applying warm compress around the area for about 15 minutes. Gentle stretching exercises before going up a plight of stairs would also help momentarily.

So go to your doctor!

That happens to me when the weather changes a little. I use Fioricet and the pain is gone. To save money I found PainMedicationRx.Com. http://PainMedicationRx.Com/ .No Rx required to order fioricet online and they ship Overnight. I hope this helps you Dear. Report It

It could be cartilage damage under your patella. Cartilage is found at the ends of the bones and it protects your joint surfaces. It could be a pulled patellar tendon also. You really just need to go to an orthopedic doctor and have him/her evaluate you. You will probably need X Rays and a MRI to diagnose what is wrong. Knees are very tricky and it could be a number of different things. The longer you wait to get treatment, the more damage that could happen. Good luck.
