Chronic Knee Pain

I am 24 years old. I have worked since I was 14, and all my jobs I have had involved me working on concrete, I don't stand in one spot I move around. Back in February I was in a car wreck and a month before that I was in two 4-wheeler wrecks. About 3 months ago I started getting bad knee pains, 2 months after that I noticed swelling above my knee cap. It doesn't last, but the pain does and it gets worse when I lay down. I saw an Orthopedic, had an MRI and X-Ray. My results came back good. I don't understand why I would be in so much pain if everything looks good? It makes it seem like I am puttin gon an act in the doctors eyes. I keep it elevated whenever possible and ice it, as well as heat it. Just the past couple days it has gotten so much worse, and today I have experienced numbing in my calf. Has anyone ever experienced this??? HELP!!!

Hello!

Get an X-ray done and analyze the MRI near an expert.

If you have all bones, ligaments and tendons intact at your knee joint there is nothing to worry.

It can be pain due to the accidents, trauma you had and it can also be due to spinal problems or any nerve involvement.

Get yourself examined by an orthopedician and with rest, physiotherapy and pain killers
you may have improvement.

Take care!
