The past few days i have had a pain in my knee. I am a photograper and am always squatting to take pictures, when I go to stand up my knee really hurts and then my shin feels like it cramping. The pain in my shin almost brings me to tears. What could this be and do I need to make a dr appointment?
Hello, The pain in the knee and shin can be related to arthritic changes in the joint and shin splints. This happens due to stress on the area. Proper rest, mild painkillers and support bandage can help.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
