Pain (thigh to knee area)
Hi
I am 60 year old female. I have a usual knee pain that stretches to the thigh area. It become worse at times when while walking sometimes the area ( thigh to knee) becomes numb and feels watery kind of feeling in that area, that time I could barely walk.
Usually at home while walking, the knee goes in different direction because of the pain ( thigh to knee), so walking becomes difficult with straight legs ( have to spread and walk).
Surgery history of life:
2 times pregnancy
1 time piles operation.
Please let me know why and what this problem is and how can it be kept controlled by normal means.
Thank you
