Sore Knee

downgirl · July 20, 2008, 08:01:45 PM

I've noticed this past few months my right knee getting really sore after going for a walk, or even after getting out of the car after driving for a few hours...I initially had problems with my knees after doing Duke of Edinburgh expedition, so probably something to do with carrying a lot of weight on my back and walking through the mountains...anyway I went to the doc after that and he said it was something to do with the cartilage having pits in it so the bones were rubbing together, and if I didn't do any impact sports for a while it should heal up...this doesn't feel like bones rubbing off each other, but I have noticed when it is sore theres a fair amount of heat coming off it but it's not swollen...has anyone any ideas of what it is or the best thing to do for it??

I was in Lourdes last year downgirl and my knee went, just like yours. Turns out I pulled a hamstring. Apparently you can do that quite easily and it doesn't have to be sports related. Had to wear a support for a few weeks.

Did it?? In Lourdes of all places!!

Im sitting here and when I like swing my leg forwards theres something clicking in the kneecap area as well. $:-\$

That can't be good.

Yeah, friggin' Lourdes. I was in the middle of the candle light procession when it went on me. Screaming and balling my eyes out like a baby

Doctor had to pump me full of drugs to keep me shush.

a sore left or right knee is bad enough, but it could have been your other knee

Ah I'd love to but you're too young and the flat mate doesnt like me talking about these things, especially not after what happened the last time.
