does it hurt on the inside or outside? did u hurt it any particualar time? how old are you and are you male or female? this matters because if you are growing still there are different things that can happen then if your done growing and if your a guy dif things then girls

I have been to a knee specialist and had an mri and xrays.  Before I went I imagined all sorts of **** was going on in my knee.  But, turns out I only had slight degeneration in the bones making up my knee area and all the pain I am having is b/c I have a cartilage tumor in my femur.  Go get checked out by a specialist.  To anyone reading this if you have unexplained pain expecially deep within a bone, get it checked out.  I complained about my 'bum' leg to my husband for nearly two years, but as the pain worsened and started really killing me at night, I went to a local medical clinic and said hey can you just check this out.   I thought they were going to tell me I had a blood clot, or that I was getting arthritis.  They took the first x-ray of my femur and voila there it was the answer to my pain.  Then I was referred to an ortho specialist and after an MRI I was sent to a cancer center. The cancer center sent me to the knee specialist to 'rule out' degeneration to explain my femur pain. Now an oncologist manages my case.  So far I am lucky, my tumor looks benign, causes pain and hasn't broken through my bone.  Surgery is most likely in my future.  Stick up for your health. Orthopedics has become a very specialized area.
