Hi everyone,
So I’ve developed this pain in my knee which seems worse when I get up to walk on it and when I put pressure on the knee, for instance bending down on it. When I straighten it it eases the pain but if I bend it it feels worse. I can’t see any swelling and it’s not warm or anything like that but I have googled it and DVT has come up. I’m so scared now that this is what I have. I had a cough back in January and it’s ocassioanlly coming back now and I keep thinking oh that’s the breaking that they’re talking about with DVT. My mind is in complete overdrive. Could this be something else?

It could be pretty much anything else, yes, there are any number of reasons that knees can hurt.

I have a very similar thing at the moment. It’s lasted a couple of months. I’ve self diagnosed it as runners knee, as that seems to fit most. Knees are very vulnerable to pain and problems
