I've been building homes recently and started feeling a burning sensation in my inner left leg, like maybe I pulled a muscle. But now it's gotten worse and moved down past my knee. It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?

I'm a 45-year-old woman, 66 kgs and 5.2 ft tall, mostly at home doing housework. Lately, I've been having knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for more than 5 minutes. An orthopedic surgeon did an X-ray and said it's early-stage patellofemoral arthritis, but there's no specific treatment just some physio. Can you guide me on what I should and shouldn't do in my daily life to manage this better?

Avoid stairs, high-impact tasks; strengthen quads, wear proper footwear—weight loss also helps knee arthritis.

My knee makes a clicking sound when I walk and I can't squat or sit cross-legged without really bad pain. What could be causing this and what treatments or meds might help? Should I consider surgery if it doesn't get better?

Knee clicking and pain when squatting or sitting cross-legged could be due to several issues, including meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, or patellofemoral syndrome. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain relievers, or, in some cases, surgery. If pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or instability, it's crucial to consult with a doctor or orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment
