Pain in knee when kneeling
Whether you are tying your shoe or doing a lunge at the gym, everyday activities can trigger this pain. There are three possible reasons why it hurts when you kneel. There could be a problem in the kneecap, in the center of the knee, or in the back of the knee. Depending on which region hurts, it signifies a different situation.
If the pain is in the kneecap, or patella, then it is most likely because a tension pattern has arisen to protect the knee from potential injury. This tension is creating pressure on the nerves in your kneecap sending a pain message to your brain, even though there is nothing mechanically wrong.
The first step in stopping this patella pain is to relax the tension and take your knee to a place of comfort. There are different positions and stretches that you can perform to relax and calm the nerves in the kneecap so you create space in the joint and relieve the pain when kneeling.
If the pain seems to be more centrally located or in back of the knee, this could be some sort of rotational issue or maybe there’s something amiss with the alignment of the upper and lower legs. Both of these issues will create pressure on the meniscus, which squeezes the nerves and results in pain.
If you have had pain in knee when kneeling for a long period of time, however, it would be a good idea to go to a doctor and have the knee evaluated. If you get an X-ray, CT scan or MRI and nothing is broken or torn, then you can easily resolve this chronic condition using relaxation stretches like the ones I demonstrate in “Knee Club.” A relaxed knee resets the nerves so the knee can heal the pain.

My knee hurts when walking or lifting it but can take my full weight if just standing with no pain
Hi Francine
Have you gotten it checked out by a doctor?

Bill
I was injured a few years ago by tripping on some carpet that a negligent company left on a sidewalk(currently in a lawsuit) I have seen two doctors, one said I need surgery and it was a torn meniscus, second doctor said possible nerve damage. I have to see a third doctor and I do not want surgery as I am terrified of that outcome and I do not want to be misdiagnosed. My pain is only when I put pressure on my knee like kneeling, there is even a discolored spot on my knee, the only other time I… Read more »

Out of nowhere with no injury or overuse, my right knee began to hurt when I kneel. The pain has nothing to do with joint function or bearing weight, but instead it’s the pressure applied to the knee by the body weight against the floor. It only hurts where the knee is touching the floor. The same pain exists if I kneel on soft surfaces (like even a mattress or pillow). Any ideas? I have zero pain in legs/knees otherwise.
J.R.
Yes, I have tons of ideas as I look back on the past 2 decades of experience working with clients however, have you gone to the doctor to make sure nothing is broken or torn in the knee? How important is this issue in your life to be resolved?
Regards
Bill
I have this exact same issue. When I kneel down without thinking there is a sharp knee pain and I have to put something soft under it to do any exercises like that. It started happening a few weeks after I got a MRI on my knee which the doctor said looked fine even though I’ve been having knee issues. This however is much different and looking straight at the left knee, the top right of the knee feels numb and I know this because I have nerve damage spots in my right leg from having a rod put in.

Seventeen years ago I underwent microscopic knee surgery for a torn meniscus. No problem there.
About 8 years ago I began having severe pain when I would kneel down. The pain comes and goes. When it is acting up I can also feel the pain if I run my fingers up the front of my knee. When doing that, I feel a sensation on the outside of the kneecap.

About 15 years ago I was tripped up and landed directly on my left knee on concrete. I was in a brace etc for a month. The doctor said I had a degenerative patella. I was also told if I lost weight and strengthen it, it would be better. Well I lost 30kg and was strengthening it and it got worst. So I’ve learned to live with it, but I’m back at the gym now and I’ve lost 30kg again. I can’t run, kneel and doing lunges and squats hurts that I have to find alternatives. I wanna run and… Read more »

I’m a college Pole Vaulter with knee pain for the past 5 years. I can barely jump on off of it and would change my life if I could for my last season next year. was diagnosed with patellar tendinitis and a partially torn tendon that I had surgery on in August of 2019. I’ve tried everything from pt to PRP injections and surgery but it still bothers me.
Got it Carrer…Sounds rough…

i have had what i thought to be nerve damage to my right knee for many years (fell hard on my knee drunk quite a few yrs ago) in the past 2-3 months it has migrated toward my outside of lower thigh (the numb feeling) and now when I am getting into bed and lean on my knee i have excruciating pain. but no where else or when engaged in any other activity. what could it be?
Hi Sura,
Have you gotten this looked at by your doctor? Once diagnosed, we can begin to help get you onto your journey to finding a place of comfort!
Best,
Anne
I have not. I was hoping to not really have to go to the doctor. But I suppose I should. Thank you.
I have this exact same issue, I hoped to get some direction from these QandAs but confess I’m very disheartening, every question is answered with “have your doctor look at it”
Derek
It’s important to understand your role in the healing of your knee. Knowing whether the damage to your knee is “mechanical” (something broken or torn like a ligament, tendon, meniscus) is key to managing your expectations and most importantly knowing what we are dealing with. This information goes into mapping out a strategy to get your knee permanently out of pain.

I have a sharp shooting pain when I kneel on my left knee. It hurts so bad it makes the outside of my knee and leg go numb during two second i am barely on it. When I sit down and feel around my knee cap I cannot reproduce the pain until I feel this nerve or vein running across my patella. The vein or nerve seems inflamed and the shooting pain is unbearable when I apply pressure to it. It only hurts when I apply pressure whether kneeling or just pressing down on the nerve/vein. What could it be?… Read more »
I’d say it’s nerve irritation however what is the diagnosis your doctor gave you?

About 15 years ago, I crashed my car. Badly smashed my right ankle, #C1, C2 vertebra, ribs resulting in being flat on my back for a long time. After about 1 year, tried. to kneel!! Could not rise quickly enough, severe pain!! I can walk, stand, run….no pain, have had 4 X-Rays with no explanation of causes of pain. If I press on a spot on my kneecap……PAIN !

I have a sharp twinge on lower outside of kneecap when kneeling. Twinge is not near pressure with ground, rather outside on side of kneecap area.
I tore my right mcl around 3.5yrs ago, it is fine now and I feel it is stable but sometimes when I wake up my injured knee is very painful again until I stretch it out and move around. This only happens around 25% of the time but I’d prefer not to experience this extreme pain, I’d also like to know your opinion of why this happens randomly. Thank you
This isn’t Jeopardy. You can comment on something, offer your opinion or give advice without people having to frame it as a question. “For 50 points: What is could be causing the above mentioned condition?” Unbelievable. I have read your responses to everyone. You sir are useless…

What do you have going on with your knee?
Bill
I have no pain in my knee while walking, standing, twisting my knee. I only have pain when I put pressure on my right knee if I kneel on a chair or try to get on my knees. The pain is a very sharp intense pain on the outside of my knee. It stops as soon as I stop kneeling or get off my knee.
That wasn’t nice. She was looking for help. I have the same thing. Pain in knee only when kneeling on something. It’s gotten better but not much. I used to could not even kneel on the bed when going to sleep. That doesn’t bother me any more but it still hurts to kneel on the ground.
Hi Jim
Did you have a question?
Bill
I have the same problem as Judy. What would cause this?
What was your doctor’s diagnosis?
I have same exact issue.
i have a torn pcl and meniscus tear, when i kneel i have pain in the back of knee, do u think its due to meniscus or pcl? do u think i should be kneeling at all? i can walk normally but can’t really run at this point.
WHen kneeling only, in left kneethere is a sharp pain and kind of burns. Feels like there is a sharp pebble under the knee but I check and nothing there. Get off knee and no pain at all. What can this be? I was told possible nerve but would think it would get better. Has been happening for 3 weeks now.
What did your doctor say?
I have the same! Did u get any answers what it could b? When I kneel down and my knees hit the ground I could just scream it hurts so bad. But on a regular basis walking I would never know there’s any problem. Only one my knees hit the ground even lightly kneeling down it sends me into orbit. Tuff tying a child shoes when you can’t bend. LOL

@Howezy – did you ever figure out what this acute pain was? I’m experiencing the same issue!
All pain in the knee is going to be caused by nerve irritation. What was your doctor’s diagnosis?
I don’t see an answer to this and have the exact same issue in my left knee the last week or two. Were there ever any helpful insights provided?
What is going on with your knee?
When I kneel down on my right knee, I get a pain towards the outside of the knee to where it feels like the skin is sliding? As long as I don’t kneel on it, no pain?
Nice web page. I’m looking at your 20 Minute Consult. Mine is interesting. I can walk. I can run. I feel no pain unless I kneel down on my left need. I have had not accidents. The knee does not look deformed. I did go to a doctor about a year ago for x-rays, etc. He found nothing and said, “we are all getting older” The pain has become more severe, i.e. a year ago, I would kneel, it would hurt and I would be over it. Today, I kneel and it is VERY painful.
Thanks Charles
Reach out when you want to be able to kneel down and the knee NOT be VERY PAINFUL.

I cannot kneel on my knees at all they do not hurt when I walk when I dance etc. I believe it is all in the head to tell you the truth. I think with some stretching in time it will get better.
Have you started stretching yet?
Here we are in 2017 yet the medical industry and politicians in USA here do not do enough to heal damaged joints and source of the pain profiting off of chronic pain. Articles such as these prolong the notion to accept and live with chronic pain which is FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! There are treatments here in USA such as prolotherapy, stem cell therapies and so on that heal and strengthen damaged joints. However insurances do not cover those treatments. Not even medicaid and medicare cover such treatments as well. There needs to be single payer universal healthcare in this country like… Read more »

I have a combination of right knee issues that have gotten worse as I have gotten older, coming up on 50. I would consider myself a weekend warrior, so expect most these issues due to poor stretching and trying to keep up with kids activities….volleyball, basketball, running, skiing, etc… Issue 1: Pain when kneeling. Always there. I cannot kneel on hard surface and when kneel for more than a few minutes on soft surface, pain too great. . Issue 2: Front of knee pain, mostly after sports/workout. Painful to bend, mostly in front of knee below knee cap. When doing… Read more »

My thoughts are the nerves in your knees are being irritated causing the pain.

Hi, I had a heavy bang to my right knee in a swimming pool 6 months ago no swelling or bruising at the time, since then when i kneel i get an intense sharp pain on the top of my kneecap. it is now 6 months after the impact and its just as painful as the day i banged it. After several visits to Dr I have had an x-ray and ultrasound with no issues reported other than a hairline crack which has now healed, Dr seems to think it could be a fatty ball? I am not convinced as… Read more »
Alan Yes sounds like it’s pretty frustrating. In my experience, anytime the knee feels pain, there are nerves being irritated sending a signal to your brain that your knee hurts. The only solution is to create “Pain-Pattern Interrupts” in the knee to get the pressure off of the nerves to relieve the pain. Now whether it’s a fatty ball or not. Who knows! But for all intents and purposes do you really care what is causing the pain? If you didn’t have pain we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. The key is the the nerves… You only have to… Read more »

Actually, the pain went away the very same day when I convinced myself that there was nothing wrong with my knee, and that it was all in my head. I’d had a very stressful week and I think that was the reason.
But, yesterday I felt it again when I was running down some stairs. It made me really worried this time, so I’m going to see a doctor on Wednesday.
I’ll let you as soon as I get home.

I have pain in both knees. It comes and goes but can last for long periods of time. It has been so severe lately that I can’t kneel at all…not even on a soft surface. Walking or other activities don’t seem to effect the pain, just kneeling. The pain feels like being stabbed in the knee. It is located just to theat outside of each kneecap.

i broke my femural bone close to my kneel the bone is healing but i can’t bend my kneel as i used to bend the other kneel it get stuck whenever i want to bend it why?
Keto
Your body right now is stuck in a “Pain-Tension Loop” that it doesn’t know how to free itself from on it’s own. It all started with the breaking of your femur bone. Your body tensed up to protect the knee/bone. Does that make sense?
Bill
That’s a cunning answer to a chinnelgalg question
I have patella femoral syndrome.
I have a knee that “locks up” occasionally if I put any pressure on when kneeling. Sometimes with ice and elevation it goes back to normal. But sometimes, it takes a whole day to be able to stand on it again.
I’ve had MRI’s and have done PT.
How do I help get it back to ‘normal’ as quickly as possible?

I cannot kneel on my right knee. It hurts severely and almost “cramps” up for lack of better description. Then after even less than a minute of kneeling, even on a soft surface like a bed or couch, it seems sort of frozen in place with excruciating pain until it “loosens” back up. I had surgery on this knee one year ago, they cleaned up a torn meniscus and did some patella realignment. But I’m still no better thank before the surgery. Any thoughts? It’s the kneeling that really puzzles me. Otherwise I walk without pain
Cannot kneel on R knee. Started months ago with mild discomfort. It has graduated to a feeling of spontaneous combustion when I kneel. Pn located lateral to R patella along the IT band. Does not travel. Burning, ripping type pain. if i forget and kneel down the pain will stay for a few hrs. Now, if i graze it, i get this pain, clothing touching area – the same.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find out what it was?
I slid down a few steps yesterday morning and initially thought everything was fine. About an hour later my knee began to hurt on the back side and felt sore & stiff. Today it feels the same and when I knelt down to put my son’s shoe on, the pain was magnified by 100. Do you think this is a sprained knee or something more serious?
My left knee is fine, until I put any weight on it while kneeling like giving my son a bath, and the pain is so severe it’s hard not to scream. It hurts mostly around the lower portion of the knee/knee cap. There is no swelling, lumps, or anything, but prolonged kneeling causes continuous pain but I can walk run and everything fine, just cant put weight on it while kneeling…. Is there a simple fix?
Josh – I’m basing everything you’re telling me off the premise that you’ve gone to your doctor and determined nothing is broken or torn in your knee. I’d try working with “The Comfort Zone” for a few weeks and let me know how that goes for you. At that point we’ll know if it’s simple or not…
Hi,
I have severe pain in the front of my left knee when I kneel. I’ve had no injuries, or bumps, I can put pressure on the area when standing or sitting, but the moment I kneel on it the pain is excruciating. There also appears to be a slight spongy lump where the pain is located :0/

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I twisted my ankle and fell hard with all weight on my right knee on to the concrete. Both ankle and knee were extremely painful at the time now with ache rather than acute after two weeks. However, I have noticed my knee seems to have a dent and although generally just a dull ache, kneeling is very painful. Is this likely to be just a bruise?

I have a bone on bone (no cartilage left) condition, preventing me from enjoying all of the activities that I used to do. Will an injectable knee lubricant make any difference?? I am too young (58) for knee replacement, and I’m afraid that too many moguls and 10K’s have exacted their toll. What can I do now? Bicycle for strength? What is my best option for the pain and constant swollen condition???? I’m too active for a wheelchair, but it hurts.

I have suddenly found that I cannot kneel down because my left knee is so painful. I can walk, jog, do anything at all, except comfortably kneel down. I have to sort of stick my leg out to one side. It feels as though there is some kind of swelling or conjestion behind my knee. Although there doesn’t seem anything to feel when pressing, it feels like a swelling from the inside.

I have the exact same situation. Same knee and all. I think that it is some sort of inflammation because it can go away for long periods [6 mos. to a year] then it re-appears.

Yes, inflammation can definitely play a role in how your knee feels. Also incorporating “Pain-Pattern Interrupts” to get your knee out of the “Pain-Tension Loop” will speed up your body’s ability to eliminate the inflammation as well.
