I was told I have pattela femerol pain
syndrom. My knees hurt all the time but at
night its like I have restless legs just
in my knees. I my knees hurt and feel like
they need to pop when I walk. One leg is
longer than the other and I was told this
probably has nothing to do with the pain.
What can I do to make this better. Or so I
can at least sleep at night.
When one leg is longer that the other one,
the static balance of the body is
disturbed. Body weight becomes inequally
dispersed on the lower spine and both
legs. The leg that bears more weight is
susceptible to developing degenerative
arthritic changes in the joints, called
coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis. Static
imbalance also causes the spine to become
deviated, a condition better known as
scoliosis. Scoliosis, furthermore, makes
the spine susceptible to degenerative
changes in the vertebrae, called
spondylosis. Spondylotic changes then can
cause pressure on the roots of the spinal
nerves and can manifest with various
symptoms such as: pain, tingling, itching,
muscle weakness in the legs. The most
pressing and immediate actions that you
can now take are:
1. You can request an X-ray image of the
spine, hips and knees.
2. You can consult an orthopedist about
your condition.
