Question:
POSTED YESTERAY:In 1998 when I was 22 I was having knee problems and I had an MRI done. The doctor said I had arthritis in the back of my knee that was thinning my cartilage. He said in about 7-10 years I would probably need a knee replacement because it would thin the cartilage so much. For about three days now, I have had pain in my knee around the top of my kneecap to the right side when I bend down or get up from sitting. Has anyone had this problem? Do you think the doctor was right about the knee replacement? I am hoping he is not.
TODAY: I woke up this morning with even more pain and now it hurts even when I walk. When I bend my knee, I noticed today that I have this loud popping noise when I bend it. If I squat down(I have two small kids), I can barely get up because of the pain.
Answers:
definitely go back to the dr. it could be a serious problem.
its always best to check with your dr. when it comes to joint pain.
