Have you ever liked something so much you actually refer to it as the bee's knees?

Basically means that something is excellent or a very high quality.

Now the origin of this expression that something is the bee's knees is pretty much unknown

but there are a few theories and one of them is my personal

favorite. Some people believe it's a reference to the fact that bees carry pollen sacks on their knees and

the expression alludes to the fact that all that concentrated pollen is just concentrated goodness.

And so anything on the bee's knees must be pretty awesome.

That's my personal favorite of the actual phrase.

Others believe that it actually refers to a person by the name of B Jackson, who was a Charleston dancer in the 1920s.

I'm not really sure a dancer in the 20s really gave birth to a gigantic phrase,

but the bee's knees is pretty important. Now you might be wondering, well, what does this have to do with anything

we're going to talk about in a medical podcast? It turns out we're going to be talking about

anterior knee pain, and I needed an excuse to tell you what idiom of these knees actually

means. You learn a lot here in this

podcast and these are all facts you can use in a bar to seem really impressive.

I'm Dr. Nakez-Lunpal, your friendly neighborhood internist and

gastrantroontologist and we're going to be talking about

petelofemal pain syndrome in

other words pain in your knee hopefully it's not the bee's knees because we know that's

a good thing. Now if you work in the outpatient setting primarily in primary care, family medicine, etc.

You've probably seen patients who come in with butelofemoral pain syndrome.

It's a common cause of me pain and adolescents and adults usually under the age of 60.
