Chronic Knee Pain.

[KittyxD]

I'm not sure if its arthritis or not. I have been having chronic knee pain for years now in both knees, I'm only 19. and I have had 2 MRI's done on my knees. But they keep showing up as "nothing serious" as my doctor would say. Now this makes no sense they say theres nothing wrong but I still lay awake at night keep up by this constant pain from my knees. The pain i experience is a constant ache, and some days its hurts to move and other times its gives me relief to move. There's a very loud crunch and pops every time I bend and most times when I step. This has become crippling, Somedays I can't even get out of bed form the pain and lack of mobility. My knees will give out all the time even sometimes when I'm not even moving and I'm just standing there. Now, I know that my mother and sister both have problems with their knees. but I'm not sure if that has much to do with it. I guess what I'm trying to ask, is if there's anyone out there that knows of a condition, or syndrome or disease that sounds similar. I'm really at my ends wit here this chronic knee pain has taken lots of my life away. and I just wanna know what is wrong with me? Thank you all so very much, for just hearing me out. I wish you the best

I can completely sympathize with you. As I was searching the internet looking up chronic knee pain I came upon your post. I am 38 years old and have had the exact pain you describe since I was 19 years old. I have seen 9 different doctors ranging from family doctors, bone & joint docs, sports docs and more. Every single doctor said they could find nothing wrong. My knees ache all the time though sometimes the pain is excruciating. When it is at its worst my knees will almost feel as if they "lock up" while they are bent, then when I extend them they will pop and crack and there will be a few moments of relief until the locking up pain comes back at which point I have to bend them again. This pattern repeats itself over and over. The worst pain usually lasts anywhere from a few days to over a week and then it will transfer to a lesser, though still chronic pain. No matter the severity my knees always crack and pop when I bend them. My knees also tend to give out and 8 months ago this happened and I fell down 12 stairs in my home cracking my tailbone. It has gotten to the point where I feel like I am just going to have to live with it. I have been prescribed different medications but nothing has worked. My mom believes that it is fibromyalgia, which causes chronic pain and fatigue, and there seems to be no real cause for it. There are many websites on the subject so you might want to check that out. I do have an appointment with a new doctor the day after tomorrow and I am hoping I can finally get a real diagnosis, though I am not overly optimistic because all x-rays thus far have turned up no problems. I will let you know if my new doctor can come up with a cause. My advice would be to perhaps seek out a new doctor and don't give up. If it is fibromyalgia there are many new medicines out there that seem to help others that are suffering from the same thing. Good luck to you!

I have the same story. I'm 37. I've had pain in both knees for 8-10 years, but it's been progressively worse lately. I've had an orthopedic surgeon and a family physician do x-rays and MRI, and can't find any evidence of injury or arthritis. This surprised me because the rest of my family has arthritis.

My family doctor now believes that it may be due to a foot problem (although I've never had foot pain) due to the tread on my shoes wearing unevenly. He has referred me to a podiatrist, whom I will see next week. I'm doubtful, but will try anything.

Go and consult with more doctors and notify them about your sister and mother’s pain also. I hope you will get solution for your problem. Do not lose hope.

There are several treatments available for Rheumatoid arthritis. The first line of treatment involves medication to suppress the pain. Drugs like Generic Diclofenac are commonly prescribed for treating arthritis pain.

Seek for a second, third, or even fourth medical advice. Sometime should be causing the pain and a good doctor should be able to figure out what the cause of the pain is.
