I am 18 years old Girl. I sense a pain in my left knee at the left part of it even if it touches something or hits something very gently. I don't understand why this is happening and the pain in not there unless my knee touches something later it's gone. I want to understand what has exactly happened and what can be done for this.

its usually due to softening of the articular cartilage (lining cartilage) of the knee cap joint, which is not uncommon in females. This is usually due to harmonal inflence. Weight reduction and Quadriceps strengthening exercises help a lot. avoid sitting on the floor and squatting. If despite these pain persists then you should be examined by an ortho surgeon
