I am now getting seriously concerned as my knee is getting worse quite rapidly. It is getting increasingly harder to walk on. The pain is central just below the knee cap and also on the exterior side of the knee, shooting down my shin as I bear weight on it.
It now also hurts in these places when I raise the knee from the bed. And yet I can still walk up stairs, do standing upright squats and the straight leg stretches prescribed by therapist.
What I don't understand is my groin and thigh getting better while my ability to walk is rapidly going south. What's going on?? I buy the tight hip capsule theory, but I worry that my therapist got fixated on the most obvious problem and overlooked a second issue which is crippling me! I could really use some answers as I am beginning to get distressed.
