Sudden pain behind knee that goes away after 1hr
Posted , 2 users are following.
When standing up from my sofa this morning, I had sudden excruciating pain behind my knee which prevented me from moving it even slightly for an hour (even to adjust my sitting position) . As it was not improving at all I contacted my local minor injuries unit. Whilst on the phone the pain suddenly 'went away' and I was able to move, bend and bare weight on the leg. I didn't experience any 'popping' sensation and the knee area continues to feel a bit fragile, but not painful. I don't understand how the pain could go from so severe for an hour to nothing in seconds, without any treatment or movement. I can't find anything similar online, and minor injuries suggested I contact my GP to check my ligaments, although my GP practically laughed me out of the surgery as by the afternoon I had a full range of movement and could stand on 1 leg without pain. This happened once before approx 10 years ago (I'm 28 now) but only lasted a minute or so, so I didn't get it checked out, and is also why I didn't seek medical help as soon as it happened today. Does anyone have any experience with this? TIA.
