Hi, hope somebody can help...I injured my right inner knee about 8 weeks ago whilst out running. I was running down a steep decline and it began to feel very painful and hot. I didn,t seek treatment. The inner side of my knee was painful to touch for about 2 weeks. I then went back out running but the problem returned after about 2 miles. My knee was stiff and painful. It was painful trying to go up stairs. Next the front of my thigh began to ache from the right inner side out and accross to my hip. Recently the pain has become unbearable with shooting pains going up my thigh and down my shin bone. The pain is now worse and going into my right buttock even whilst sitting. I can barely walk and have been limping for past 3 weeks. At the Doctors today. He got me to lie on my back. He asked me to raise my right leg. The pain inside my thigh was extreme and agoninsing. I can hardly lift my right leg to ascend stairs. Without painkillers I would be in agony. He has arranged for physio but I will have to wait. Should I be resting or trying some leg exercises. The doctor seems unsure about what is causing the pain as there is no obvious swelling. The knee now feels better although mild pain is felt at the front of the kneecap when walking
