Hello Looloo,

Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am glad that you found us but sorry to hear about your bilateral knee pain.

Have you consulted your PCP? If not I encourage you to see him/her. At 19 you are pretty young to have osteoarthritis. However because both of your knees are painful an inflammatory condition such as arthritis should be ruled out. This can be done with a simple x-ray and maybe some a lab work to rule out something like rheumatoid arthritis.

In the meantime you may want to rotate heat and ice on your knees. Ask your pharmacist about an OTC NSADI. A little treatment may bring you some comfort until you can see your PCP.

I wish you the very best and hope you will soon have some answers and your pain will be addressed. Please let us know what you discover. I will look forward to hearing from you.


Take Care,
~Tuck
