Pain in my right knee?Ever since my riding lesson today, when I bend my knee or bend down my right knee has a sharp pain. It is right where the bones meet at the joint in the center of my knee. This has happened before, but it goes away after a few minuets. I'm only fifteen so I do not get what is going on, it has been like this for six hours now.

Hmm look up "Osgood Schlatters Disease".
Its common in active teens and usually happens in the knees, I have it in my left knee and beginning to get it in my right knee :(
Its very painful and you can get some cream stuff from the doctor which helps a little bit, if its not Osgood Schlatters then I dont know what it would be.... But good luck! Hope you get it figured out :)

HI,
I am a physical therapist. Knee pain is a common problem. The most common knee conditions not associated with trauma include knee cap or patella femoral pain and knee arthritis. Trauma generally is associated with knee conditions including a meniscus tear or ligament sprains.
From a treatement standpoint there are some simple things to do not matter what the specific condition. First, avoid any aggravating activity (running/stairs/squatting), utilize ice (not heat!), and exercise to the extent you can tolerate. I specifically like a stationary bike as repetitive motion helps to maintain knee mobility.
For information and treatment recommendations regarding specific knee conditions visit the link below.
Hope this helps.
