Knee ache since i was 6 years old
by nickers29, Sep 27, 2006 12:00AM
Hi,
You don't have a topic for this!
I have had knee ache for a very long time. I am a 32 year old woman and i have never had a knee injury. My mum took me into the doctors when i was 6 and they diagnosed me with pure growing pains. Well that isnt the case obviously. It aches alot when i walk a long way or i am very tired. I sometimes get it when i drive a long way and my foot is elevated. I have never had it looked at since i was a kid. I am a bit nervous latly because it is getting more and more prominent. I just to get it maybe once or twice a month, now it's more like once or twice a week.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Nikki

Hope that helps. I am still trying to find him relief!
I have the same problem. I'm 19 and have been getting terrible aches in my knees since i was about 5...there was one time when i was 5 or 6 my knee hurt so badly i refused to walk on it, so my parents got my leg x-rayed but there was nothing wrong with it. Unlike the original poster I have no real patern to my knee aches (she had them when walking or driving far...mine seems to have no reason) For me they come and go in both legs, most comonly the knee caps, but have also happened in the upper thy and lower calf and ankle of both legs. Recently they've been coming in spurts...like I don't get them for a while and then I have a few over a period of a few days, and then they go away again. Maybe it is just growing pains...I'm probably not done growing completely yet. I usually just ice the ache with a cold pack and take some tylonol and then it'll go away...but lately the pain comes back just as strong a few hours later. Anyone have any suggestions of what this could be?
