Related to another post I just put up, I dislocated my knee and had to use crutches for awhile. I've never used them and was almost jumping around on my good knee and it would begin to hurt. Months later and months after stopping the use of crutches, my good knee has had a persistent weakness when I walk, with a clicking sensation when taking a step. My good knee is also painful to bend all the way back and more importantly, the muscle and tendons under my knee ache SO uncomfortably when I lay down on my back to sleep. It hurts the direct back of my knee, a bit above it and a part of the back of my calf. I rotate my leg to the sides to try to get comfortable but it still hurts. Theres also pain on what I believe is a bone spur below the front of my knee. It never felt like its eased in the months I've felt it, and sometimes it feels like it goes up to the back of my thigh when sitting. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
