Question: I have been having a lingering pain just below my knee along the shin for months now I think it started after I went jogging earlier in the year I am a TaeKwondo practitioner so I tend to move my legs a lot and I still get that sharp pain even after massaging it with oilscreams I did an XRay scan and it showed nothing as well I am totally confused and worried too Any help would go a long way I stopped jogging after the pain started
Answer: From what you described its like you stretched a ligament or tendon
I think you should do another xray to be sure theres no chip fracture because sometimes they dont show up early on the xray
If the xray is fine then you can get a knee brace that will allow you to rest the joint with a limited range of motion
However if pain persists after resting the joint for over a week please see an orthopedic doctor so that the limb would be properly examined
