Weakness in the knee
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello,
So 4 days ago I was doing some exercises. My knee was hurting a bit when I was doing some of the exercises, but I was thinking that it`s probably because I am out of shape. While I was doing some squads at one point my knee popped, but there wasn't any pain.I didn't feel any pain or weakness for a really long time. Maybe 6 hours later I started feeling weakness in the knee. It wasn't that bad, but with time It got worse. If I rest and don't do anything It gets better. For example, after I wake up it's much better. But if during the day I try to walk around my apartment I quickly get tired just by a couple of steps.Except for this small walks, I only rest in my bed. There is no bruising or swelling, or anything visual on my knee.Except for the weakness, I don't really feel much pain. It's more like stiffness and discomfort and if there is pain it's nothing serious. When my leg is laid flat sometimes I feel something like pulling in the back of my knee, on the inner side of my leg. Also yesterday I had to climb a small step and I felt a strange feeling at the same place. I am not sure how to describe it. It was something like a thinglig sensation.
Currently, I am in a foreign country and I am going home after a month. It wiloild be hard for me to see a doctor here, and since I don`t have any swelling or bruising I was thinking that it might not be necessary.
Should I see a doctor? What Is wrong with my knee? Is there anything I can do to get better?

When you are able, see a doctor. But in the mean time, try rest, ice, elevation, and maybe wear a knee brace. definitely get it looked at when you can.

did you mean squats if so i was told by physio you should never do them when had a knee replacement it puts to much pressure on joint and could result in bones splitting .just rest and ice for now till can see a Dr

Did you have a recent surgery or is it just random pop and weakness?

No, I never had any surgery or any problems with my legs.

Maybe try an online consult and see if they can help you? You can Google "Digital physio" and it should pull up some results for you to use...
