A doctor better examine you and you should do blood test before we can say anything. If tests where normal then it is likely that you have an overall body weakness. ALL your muscles are very weak and you should strengthen them. By strengthening your muscles the pressure would be on the on the muscle and not the joint! Another reasons could be of over weigth. You haven't mentioned it thought but if you are over weighted then you should control your diet. Again, I don't tell you to starve coz you don't wannu burn muscles too. \n\nIn conclusion, I think you should consult and always be in touch with a 'physiotherapist' (of course after you saw a doctor I mentioned above) to show you the proper exercises so that you can strengthen your muscles.

You probably twisted your knee to some degree and may have sprained your patella tendon.  I will not go into all of the details but basically you may have acute patellar tendonitis now with swelling underneath the knee cap and through the tendon.  The swelling compresses when you extend the knee thus causing pain and preventing you from straightening the knee all the way out.  If this is not the case, there is a possibility that you may have torn some cartilage in the knee, this is known as a meniscus injury.  The cartilage tends to ooze fluid slowly after injury and although your knee may not have swollen immediately when playing the other day, you would have noticed the swelling by the next morning and again the swelling and the cartilage tear would produce pain when you extend the knee.  As far as playing soccer in 2 days, you should not.  You should put an ice pack on your knee for 15-20 minutes every 4 hours or so and make an appointment to see an orthopedist who will likely refer you to physical therapy for a few weeks ultimately depending upon his diagnosis.

My husband and I use a product called "blue emu" it helps alot.  Also you need to start watching what you eat.  I'm very very arthritic and stay away from FAT, it totally swells the pain in my joints to unbearable.  It really works, trust me.  Also there is a product called MSM and it is a wood pulp derivative and works very well in elevating pain. Ive been at this game for some time now.  Follow all these steps and it should really improve your pain considerably.

Have you been working out or walking a lot more. It could be that you have strained your muscles or something. If it lasts to long call the doc.

Hmm be careful with that. Don't do anything too strenous with it or it'll get worse. Go see a doctor asap and hopefully you won't need surgery. My dad did. And I have bursitis in the knee.

This could be an ileopsoas muscle strain or, as you suspect, a bursitis.  And the pain can indeed come and go.  It is possible for it to become a chronic condition when not rested /treated appropriately.\n\nBut! laying on a mattress, however 'terrible', is not likely to cause this injury.  (Though it may aggravate it, so wrecking your quality of sleep and rest....).\n\nIt takes time for a bursitis to form - and it is not at all unusual for \none to develop weeks, even months,after the original injury.\n(Which is why it sometimes seems to come 'out of the blue')\n It is a common sports injury, but may also be connected to excessive weight-bearing. or other forms of trauma.  (I see from a previous answer that you are just 27 yrs old...? sports injury)...\n\nPrimary care doctors are not good at diagnosing these kinds of problems - indeed they don't really want to, since the diagnostic tests involved are expensive (CT and MRI imaging) - and, when all is said and done, none of their patients ever die of pain!!\n\nMoreover,while patients are waiting for those tests, the problem frequently resolves itself.  \n\nTreatment is image-guided deep injection of steroids,but the success rate for this is only 50-60%.  (Surgery for very extreme cases).\n\nAn alternative diagnosis might actually be spinal problems - a herniated disk in particular - which can cause 'referred' pain to the hip and other structures.  However I would be willing to bet money that you have a bursitis - primarily because you identify the pelvic bone as a major pain site. (The ileopsoas muscle attaches to the pelvis).\n\nIn this condition, you are likely to feel OK when mobilising - but experience pain when you sit/ lay in a 'fixed' position.  You may also experience pain on internal rotation of the leg on the affected side.\n\nYou need 'Brufen' (Ibruprofen) for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.  And you need to rest for a bit with only gentle exercise.  \n\nIf you have a continued experience of pain - over several months - you will need to seek a definitive MRI scan of the pelvis - primarily to exclude spinal radiculopathy (nerve root involvement) and lumbar disk problems. But lets hope you won't need one and that it is a minor problem.  Its a 'wait and see', really.\n\nI really hope this helps you. Good luck.

It sounds like you bruised or even partially tore your medial collateral ligament and/or the medial meniscus.  Try this: sit down and plant your left foot firmly in front of you, then move your knee to the right and see if it hurts.  If so then that is what happened and you should go easy on it for a week.  If it is still tender after that you should see a physical therapist to help in recovery.

after getting knee pain...

Have you had an xray for this yet?  If not, I would definately recommend you get one.  It sounds like you have have done more than jam your finger.  There are a few different things that could be triggering your knuckle to swell months after the initial injury.  The most common would be a fracture.  There are other possibilities as well.  Does the finger continue to swell bigger or has it leveled out?  You may have a fragment floating around there irritating everything.  I would suggest you definately at least have it checked out, there is a possibility the swelling will go down, but do you really wanna risk the ring not fitting on your wedding day?  Make an appt with your family dr and KNOW what is going on.  Hope your finger feels better and Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!

It sounds like tendinitis or inflamed tendons which can be very painful and last for quite some time occasionally. I eventually had a few cortisone treatments injected into the affected area and after 3 it was gone and didn't come back , mean while the cortisone took care of the pain. You man consider this option. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine.

It sounds similar to what we've been experiencing recently. My son's knee was hurting, but no swelling. The pain was excruciating and brought tears to his eyes when he was just using it. We found out that he had staph bacteria that had settled in his knee. We went to our family doctor who deals in natural medicine and he recommended some pills that took care of the pain and removed the staph. It worked a whole lot better than the prescription stuff doctors prescribe today. \nIf you're interested, I'll leave the email for this doctor. There may be similar doctors in your area. The company that deals with these pills is Standard Process out of Wisconsin. Everything they use is organically grown and is wonderful.\nI hope you get some relief soon!

I know that there are some blood tests to rule out some reasons for joint pain.  If they have been ruled out, you need to talk to your doctor about other possible causes.  \n\nOne might be a problem in your cervical and lumbar spine.  Its also possible that you have a condition called fibromyalgia.  Arthritis comes to mind as well.  \n\nA pinched nerve can cause a lot of the symptoms your having.  See your doctor.  If he doesn't do anything, get another doctor.  Good luck.

IT COULD BE A TORN LIGAMENT OR A TORN MUSCLE......THE STRETCHING IS LOOSENING UP THE MUSCLE...TRY HEAT FOR 20 MIN...THEN COLD PACK FOR 20 MIN...LET IT REST......DO NOT DO THE CURLS FOR A WEEK OR SO...LET IT REST....AND KEEP USING THE HEAT/COLD...ALSO TRY TIGER BALM....IT IS IN THE HEALTH FOOD STORES.....AND IT IS VERY HEALING ON MUSCLES AND JOINTS........IF YOU KEEP USING IT (AREA)...IT WILL NOT HEAL..THE ITCHING IS BECAUSE IT IS TRYING TO HEAL......YOU COULD BE CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE IF YOU DO NOT REST IT.    HEAT & COLD ARE THE 2 KEYS TO MOST INJURIES OF TORN MUSCLES AND LIGIMENTS.\nALSO DON'T DO ANY HEAVY LIFTING......THAT CAN MAKE IT WORSE.  IF IT KEEPS HURTING AFTER 2 WEEKS.....GET A 2ND OPINION (DOCTOR / CHYROPRACTOR)\n\nJoint, Muscle and Tendon Injuries \n\n\nMost of us have experienced a sprain or strain at some time during our lives. Injuries to muscles, tendons and joints are common. Maybe you slipped on an icy sidewalk, turned a screwdriver with too much force, or after months of inactivity, you started an exercise program and now feel stiff and sore all over. Exercise-induced injuries are adding to the accidental joint, muscle and tendon injury statistics. Baby boomers are participating in sports and exercise activities more than ever before. As a result, sports-related injuries for this group have increased by over 33 percent in the last decade. Health club memberships for people over the age of 55 have increased by 300 percent. Accordingly, injuries for this age group have skyrocketed. More than 10 million sports injuries are treated each year in North America.\n\nSYMPTOMS\nWe know we have injured a joint, muscle or tendon because pain is the main symptom. There are many different types of injuries: sprains, strains, tendinitis, meniscal tears, osteochondritis dissicans, chondromalacia and bursitis, to name a few. Many components make up joints, protect the skeleton and ensure we have mobility. Muscles are bundles of fibers that contract. They are attached to bones. Tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that attach each end of a muscle to a bone. Ligaments surround joints and connect one bone to another. Bursas are fluid-filled sacs found at sites where friction occurs; they provide cushioning between structures. All of these components can become injured. \n\nA sprain involves either a stretched or torn ligament, the elastic tissue that connects bones to one another. Symptom severity depends on the extent of the damage, and can include pain, a popping or snapping sound when the injury occurred, inflammation with pain, swelling and fluid build-up in the area and an inability to put weight on the affected limb. A strain is the result of a partial or completely torn muscle. \n\nTendinitis is an inflammation of a tendon, the fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones. Tendons of the hands are especially prone to inflammation. Trigger finger, where the finger tendon becomes inflamed and does not move as smoothly (often causing a popping sound), is a common type of tendinitis. The Achilles tendon in the heel and the tendons of the rotator cuff are also areas that can suffer tendinitis. Those with rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and gout can also develop inflammation in the sheaths that surround the tendons, causing extreme pain and lack of mobility.\n\nMeniscal injury of the knee involves a tear to the meniscus. The knee pops when injured. It can be extremely painful and fluid may build up in and around the knee. A meniscal injury is often associated with a severe sprain.\n\nOsteochondritis dessicans (OCD) happens when a bit of bone or cartilage weakens or breaks off from the end of the bone. OCD is common in teens whose bones are still growing. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, or a catching or popping sound in the joint.\n\nChondromalacia occurs when the cartilage in the knee softens. This can be caused by overuse (it is common in runners), injury or weak muscles supporting the knee. Pain w
