When I put weight on my knee and bend it, the front of my knee hurts.
symptom
The main complaint was pain in the left knee, and three days prior, the patient had felt a "pop" in their knee during soccer practice.
Afterward, when I put weight on my knee and bend it, I experience pain in one spot on the front of my knee.
Specifically, I have pain in the upper part of the lateral ligament of my right knee, where it attaches to the patella, and I am unable to bend my knee and put weight on it.
The pain is only felt when putting weight on the knee and bending it, and it has lessened compared to immediately after the injury.
It doesn't interfere with daily life, but it bothers him during soccer practice.

Treatment and progress
Confirmed that there was no pain on the inner or outer sides of the knee.
We decided to start by adjusting the vertical axis of the knee, and then inserted needles into acupoints on the buttocks and lower limbs.
The pain was reduced by 9% after the treatment, but pain still returned in the same area when I put more force on my knee and bent it.
In the next treatment, needles will be inserted into acupoints on the back of the thigh.
After having the patient check their movement and pain again, the pain had disappeared, so the treatment was concluded.
Acupressure points used
Summary
In this case, appropriate treatment was administered for right knee pain that occurred during soccer practice, resulting in a significant reduction in pain and improvement in range of motion.
In particular, the relaxation of muscle tension is thought to have contributed to the reduction of pain.
