Joint pain in left knee under knee cap.For the past week and a half, I've had terrible pain under my knee cap and around the sides of the joint. Sometimes shootin pain will go down my shin or up my thigh. I thought maybe it could be arthritis so I bought some arthritis creme (should have seen the look I got since I'm only 23), anyways, it has helped a tiny bit but not much. I tried taking tylenol but nothing really gives me relief. The first day I thought it was normal but then began waking up with it. I thought also it could be from my hour and a half commute in the car to/from work and then sitting while at work since I'm a secretary.
Any ideas?
I went for a bike ride last night and it seemed to help a little bit. This morning its now my hip and knee on my left leg. If it continues through out the end of the week I will make an appointment to be seen.
Aspercreme isn't working, it's just a constant ache/pain.

You could possibly have some fluid under there and be causing you stiffness in the mornings - in this case add some heat to it and it will help the stiffness and make move around less painful / the walk probably isn't the cause unless you ar wearing some unsporting shoes for that walk -you can also try getting some Ibuprofen with the inflammatory additive in it for swollen joint that stuff works pretty good too- if it is really bothersome then try some icy-hot and WRAP it with saran wrap and then a ace bandage that will keep the heat in and you may not even need to apply the heat - I have had knee problems in my younger years and these methods are quick pain reliefs if it keeps bothering you - you may need to see a doctor -

my husband had some of the same thing and it was pinched nerve, he went to a (cant spell it ) chiropractor and he popped his knee and it was solved.
