 KNEES
Hi everyone!
After reading some of the posts on this board, I'm thinking that I may have some knee problems afterall.
It started a few months ago. I had trouble going up and down stairs. I got shooting pains up the front of my lower leg and knees. I avoided stairs and then the knees got better.
Then 2 months ago, I joined a gym and after the first work-out I came home and my knees were making swuishy sounds when I moved them back and forth. I called a PT friend and was told to keep exercising. I was just using joints and ligaments that I hadn't used in awhile. I was told that the fluid would reabsorb into my body in a few days. I continued exercising for about 2 weeks (3-4 times a week). Well, the knees kept making the squishy sound and I now was in really bad pain. i went to a doctor, x-rays were taken and the results from radiology showed nothing abnormal. i asked if this included arthritis and was told there was no arthritis on the x-ray. So, I was sent home and told to wear a brace (for exercise), rest and ice my knees, and avoid exercise for a week. Well, I've never gone back to exercising at the gym, but my knees still have that swuishy sound and it almost feels like I have fluid in the knee caps. Just last night they started to ache. I never had knee problems prior to this. Does anyone have a clue what's going on my me knees?
