Pain on the outer (or lateral) part of the knee can happen due to an injury or arthritis. It may also result from inflammation in a band of tough fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the thigh and attaches to the front of the tibia (shin bone).

Lateral knee pain is common among distance runners. However, other sports may also cause this type of pain.
Treatment and recovery time depend on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Doctors often recommend conservative or nonsurgical treatment, but in some cases, surgery may be necessary.

Stop suffering and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
