Okay, so I SHOULD know this as I am also a health care professional…but hear me out.
Eversince I was pregnant with my daughter (in the last couple months…she was born two months ago, so this is going on for about four months now, getting increasingly worse) I have felt a stabbing pain in the antero-lateral aspect of my right knee, along with a stretching & stabbing pain in my right hallux (feels as tho the tendon of extensor hallicus longus is being stretched beyond it’s limits sometimes).
I have gone to the doctor and they don’t know what’s wrong.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Basically the knee pain is absolutely horrid at times! It’s a combination of feeling like there is something in there that is ripping, and stabbing as well as numbness on the skin in the area where it hurts. the pain goes from about the antero-superior portion of the lateral condyle of the tibia to the head of the fibula.
What do you suggest for dx, tx, etc?
Thanks
Merlin the Cat.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
that sucks….sounds kinda crazy to have those things happening. The only thing i could think of that would kind of relate would be that when you get towards the end of pregnancy all of your joints become what more lax to be ready for the baby. It’s possible that you might have done something that you didn’t notice because of that??? The only things attaching in that area of the knee are the IT band to the tibia and the LCL…besides the joint capsule. i dunno. try some heat and stretching…good luck

Pain in the joints could be due to various reasons. Some of the most common reasons are injuries,bursitis,muscle pains,arthritis,overexertion or other diseases.Sometimes,small or large joints on both sides of the body may be affected. Most of the joint pains can be cured but for some types like joint pain, (pain due to osteoarthritis),treatment will only help in reducing the pain.
