Inner knee pain treatment in delhi- knee pain doctors in Delhi.
Medial knee pain is pain that occurs on the inner side of the knee and can be due to a number of problems.
It may come on gradually over time or may develop suddenly after a knee injury. There may be a general inner knee pain, movement may be restricted or there may be a sharp pain.
It is very common to get pain on the medial side of the knee, because muscle weakness and/or tightness can subtly change the way the knee moves. This causes more force to go through the inner side of the joint, rather than distributing weight evenly through the whole joint, which results in damage to the inner side of the knee and therefore medial knee pain.
