See topic title. On my right knee, on the right hand side of the front of my knee cap, I have a very small area that is very painful if I accidentally bang it or kneel on it. There is NO pain at all when I move it, exert it, wiggle the kneecap around, or dick around with it in any other way - it's ONLY direct pressure. When I carefully find the spot it feels like there's a fine...."cordlike" band running across it, and this is the sore bit.

Any ideas?? Obviously due to too much bumming, but since my legs have taken a beating in the last year, I'd rather keep what's left of them intact...

Looks like its fucked.


I'd stop sitting like this.

I had something similar, and it was only when I got it X-Rayed that I worked out why....

I hate you guys 

P.S. No swelling, no stiffness, no nails embedded in it, and no problems using knees when climbing...

[GCW]

On a serious note, my right knee has something similar.  Occasionally when I kneel on it in a certain way I get a severe stabbing pain in the skin, like I've knelt on glass.  Not worked out why as yet, but it brings tears to the eyes.

No nails though.

That'll be the one.

Heal thyself physician. Then tell me how to as well

I presume it's just a tiny neuroma or something.  The kids get to laugh at their old dad though.

Again, looking up neuroma, that sounds right to me, I was going to say "I think it's a nerve thing" but didn't want to jump the gun.

I don't have any kids to laugh at me. Will I survive?

I will laught at you if it helps. Or can supply small child who laughs a lot.
