Answers:
Yep, welcome to the world of arthritis and it only gets worse as you get older. As you probably have figured out, do not stay with bent knees for more than an hour or so at a time.

GOOD LUCK!

u must keep putting a medical cream on it and rub it softly..

and never hesitate to see a doctor

Sounds like you are experiencing lots of pain. With ur family history, sounds like you are going to be apt to inherit this too. It is very important you go and see a Dr. - I wear a knee brace for my knee pain, and when I read ur question, felt like what I live with daily. There are EXCELLENT pain clinics that do Injections of the knee to reduce the amount of pain you are experiencing. I hope you haven't reached the point of the knees "locking" like mine do. AWFUL- I am sorry to hear about your break-up-Stress can do a number on us too, and exacerbate the symptoms. GOOD LUCK! GO SO A DOCTOR!

Sounds like it may just be arthritis. Get it checked out.
