pain on side of knee
by lucysmum, May 06, 2008 05:15AM
Further to the question I posted over a week ago, if anyone has additional info on what this might be - help is appreciated.
I'm a 44 yr old woman, quite active as I walk everywhere/don't drive.
I have had terrible pain on my left knee (along the right hand side of it). There is no swelling. An x-ray was done and it showed no bone or joint damage. The knee itself makes cracking/crunching noises whenever it is bent. I can hardly walk, go up or down stairs and have tried ibubrofen, heat and ice - all, with no pain relief provided. I have been referred to a physiotherapist and am trying to hold on until an appt is given.
At times when I walk it feels as though the knee is twisting - with bits going in separate directions (if that makes sense), Might this be a cartilge or ligament or tendon problem? I have not been given any info from the Dr and have had this pain for months now.

Treatment: for the tenderness under patella, do strong and deep massage, or fat pad operation.
