I am a reasonably fit 74 year old male. I have no trouble walking and often walk for 5 miles without any problems at all.

For about two weeks now i have been suffering with intermittent ache and muscle? spasms on the outside of my right knee.

This has increased to the point where the spasms are virtually constant when sitting or lying.

They are not particularly painful but are upsetting and mean that i can't sit or lie still.

A knee xray shows signs of arthritis but nothing of concern.
