A patient came into Doylestown Sports Medicine Center last week limping with knee pain and asked:
“I’ve had this knee pain for a few weeks now, I’m not sure what I did to it but I’ve tried taking Tylenol and that didn’t help.
I was trying to rest it so that it wouldn’t hurt, but whenever I stood up and started moving, it hurt again so I had to sit down.
Now I’m wearing a brace to see if that helps, but I can still feel the pain when I take it off.
