Knee pain anyone?

Hurts on the inside of my left knee. If i sit it hurts. If i lay down it hurts. Putting a pillow under it while i'm on my back. Feels better after i walk a bit but then hurts more after i stop. Ibuprofen, aspirin, and acetaminophen don't do much for it. Afraid to go in to the doctor as they usually are pretty worthless and just send you a big bill. Icing it kind of helps. Wakes me up. I need zero G.

@Tastyfrzz I can tell you from my own personal experience that any lose bit of tissue floating around in the knee joint will give you constant and often excruciating pain. The only solution is to have an arthroscopy (surgery) and get it removed. I’ve had 3 in my life time.

It’s the equivalent of having a small bit of road grit lose in your shoe. You won’t get any relief until you take it out of your shoe.
