Hi - well I have a lot of prior history on my knees - I had a ski accident 9 years ago that blew my knee out completely ligaments and meniscus.\n\nIf you are have knee problems go to your Doc and get a referal to a good knee surgeon - he will probably carry out an MRI scan to see what is inside.  Depending on that result he may want to scope you (arthroscopy) using fibre optics.\n\nIf you have meniscus problems the surgeon will probably have to trim it and remove any bits which have come lose or are catching in your knee.  This is not as bad as it sounds but can be painful for a while.\n\nIf you want to seek unofficial comments have a look at this website

there's a sac of synovial fluid behind your kneecap, and if it becomes punctured somehow, it can cause severe pain and swelling. I am not saying that this is what's happened to you, but... Please put aside your fear of doctors and go see one. You need an x-ray, possibly an mri, and it's not a DIY sort of thing. Not maintenance you can do at home, or have someone diagnose over the internet.

I am 41, I started to have problems with my knees after my son was born (37). I went to the Doctor for the same problem. He stated in a healthy knee, your knee cap will glide seamlessly across the joint, you have a grove in the center and when your muscular structure begins to  weakening the knee caps will dig new groves. This causes the crunchy, grinding sounds. He suggested to do isometric exercises to improve muscular strength and get it back on track. Hope this helps before you end up in pain as I was when I went to my doctor.

I have had the same thing happen with my right knee. When the weather changes to cold or if it's going to rain it just aches.\nSome simple easy things you can do to help.\nPurchase one of those cheap ace bandage knee supports. This will help to hold everything in place and aid your ligaments from the stress. Buy or make your own ankle weights. The little sandbag type, depending on your physique start from 2-5 lbs. Sit on a surface that is high enough to allow your legs to dangle, and just raise your legs from 90 degree angle to 180 degrees start off with 2 sets of 10 and work your way up. This will strengthen muscles around your knee. When you lay down to relax you can apply alternating daily hot and cold packs while laying with your legs elevated above your heart simple as using the pillow for your leg instead of your head. This will increase circulation and reduce swelling.

Well, I'm recovering from a broken kneecap. My Doctor told me to lay on my back on the floor.\nDraw my one knee up so it points to the ceiling while the foot is flat on the floor. Keep it there.\nThe other knee? Keeping your leg straight, lift that leg about 10 inches off the ground & hold for 10 seconds. Do 100 daily. This strengthens the knee.

I have also had knee surgery twice- once for ACL reconstruction, and the second for my menisicus. \n\nAlthough I wish there is an alternitive way to fix what damage has been done to your knee joint, I can't tell you anyway. \n\nAccepting a surgical procedure are your best chances.

I've had shoulder trouble since I was a pitcher in high school. I've stopped throwing and have taken up weight training. The pain has literally disappeared. My suggestion. Stop all high impact activity on your knee. Do low weight bearing exercise. Focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee with weight training. Also do a lot of stretching and perhaps yoga if you are ambitious. I heard of a supplement that is supposed to be helpful for joint issues. Hyaluronic Acid. Best of Luck

I just had surgery for a torn meniscus and I was walking without crutches in two days. I didn't need to have any physical therapy, just three exercises at home a few times every day. \n\nCartilage doesn't really repair itself because it doesn't have any blood vessels in it. Repair can happen sometimes, but it's not always garaunteed. My surgeon just took the torn "bucket handle"  chunk out, smoothed it down, and says that the knee should be okay (especially since I don't have a flap of meniscus floating around in my knee causing problems anymore).

It sounds similar to what we've been experiencing recently. My son's knee was hurting, but no swelling. The pain was excruciating and brought tears to his eyes when he was just using it. We found out that he had staph bacteria that had settled in his knee. We went to our family doctor who deals in natural medicine and he recommended some pills that took care of the pain and removed the staph. It worked a whole lot better than the prescription stuff doctors prescribe today. \nIf you're interested, I'll leave the email for this doctor. There may be similar doctors in your area. The company that deals with these pills is Standard Process out of Wisconsin. Everything they use is organically grown and is wonderful.\nI hope you get some relief soon!

You can't.  What you can do is make the muscle around the knee stronger giving it support.

It seems like you're getting a build up of air in your joints in your knee. It's probably no big deal but if it starts giving you trouble then I'd say go to a doc.

As a PT, I've dealt with many patients 'sidelined' by knee pain. It all depends on what specifically is occurring in your knee (the joints above and below can also be a contributing factor). A physical therapist will examine you thouroughly and establish an exercise program/regimen to assist you in your recovery as well as provide manual therapy if indicated.  PT is a great option for you for any neuromusculoskeletal problem. :)

I've had and my knee doctor told me to rest it by not doing running or anything like that since that is what causes it.  You also need to strengthn the knee muscles.  what you should do is buy leg weights and slowly get up to like ten pounds ten reps 3 sets of straight leg raises with foot slightly turned out a bit.  knee braces will help you out a lot my knee doctor told me to get custom made ones and they are worth the money since they fit the knee and help them.  also get shoes with good arch supports since that also tends to be the problem.

squats, leg lifts, basically tightening the muscles around the knee\nhttp://www.knee-surgery-info.net

The menisci play an important role in absorbing about a third of the impact load that the joint cartilage surface sees. It's been shown that complete removal of a meniscus can result in progressive arthritis in the joint within a decade or so in a younger patient, sooner in patients who are older with preexisting "wear-and-tear" osteoarthritis. The menisci also cup the joint surfaces of the femur and therefore provide some degree of stabilization to the knee.

Go see your Doctor!  You could prevent a very painful knee replacement when you are older.
