Do you know what may be causing the pain in my knees?

Hi disvachic, there are many different thing that can cause the pain in your knees, the best thing is to let your doctor check you out. My doctor put me on a cholesterol medication called Vytorin and it messed up the joints in my knees and elbows so bad that I could not even walk up and down the stairs, I could not bend down or even stand too long. I was in so much pain until I stopped the medicine and it all disappeared. I had him put me on something else. That one medicine just messed me up terribly, it works differently on everyone and it wasn't good for me.

It may be Arthritis from some old injuries that you have. I know for me, my weight causes my legs and knees to hurt at times. I also have tendonitis from old injuries. They tend to really act up with the weather. I take Ibuprophen, it seems to work very well for the pain.

I am having problems with mine lately. I believe it may be a touch of arthritis, but not certain just yet. I have to see a doctor in May and will have her check my knees then. I stand for most of the day and rarely sit. The pain in my knees is more evident when I walk up stairs and not so much going down.

Well my Daughter has a lot of trouble with her Knees but we know what that is down to I really don't know what could be causing it but please do let me know how you get on Sweetie

gosh it could be anything, it is hard to say, maybe even the weather.

Hi disvachic. You could of strained the ligaments around the knees maybe. Have you done any vigorous exercising lately? I hope it isn't anything serious my friend and glad you're getting it checked! keep us updated ok?

It sounds like you might be getting that darn Arthritis. Have you injured you knees, fell on the ice or something. I fell a few months ago, there was ice on the sidewalk. I went down hard on my knees, they still hurt. It does take time for your knees to heal. I know of people having problem with the cartiledge in their knees. Our knees do take a beating everyday. Good luck I hope its nothing serious and they get to feeling better soon.

you may have arthrist. that's what it sounds like to me. now i am not a doctor and you better make sure you get your appointment. I have not seen you around either site much lately, how are things going with you?

probably not enough information to go on but I can tell you what has effected my own knees. my knees pain me when the weather is humid, impending rain etc. my knees ache me from arthritis. I carry a bit of extra weight which has also affected my knees. When I was a teen I popped my patella out of socket and a bit down my leg, this tore on the ligaments and tissues surrounding the knee cap as well. it took a good long while to heal - and I think in my old age that pain is revisited frequently.
