Knee Pain And Cracking... Help Required Posted: 06-26-05 16:31pm
About 4 years ago I suffered from what my
doctor said 'ligment pain' just below my
knee and ever since i've been suffering
from pain on and off but recently its been
behind the 'patella' area.
What I am suffering at the moment is pain
in what feels like between the 'patella'
and the 'femur' area but the pain only
seems to be when i'm going up and down
stairs, kneeling, bending, walking up and
down hills and do on. I am also suffering
from cracking in teh same area when I bend
my knee, which i've not suffered from
before.
I have been to see a doctor who has put
me on ibuprofen which I have been taking
now for 5 days and no different, I know
there not magic pills and work overnight
but its not even eased off. I have been
wearing tubigrip to help support my knee
when up and about but take it off at night
(as required) due to circulation.
I'm a very active person and with four
children aged 12, 10 and 9 year old, as
well as a 20 month old I have no choice
but to be active :lol: .
I was just wondering if any one has and
idea what this could be.

Go get another opinion with another dr
that you know will do something about the
situation.

I'm really sorry about your pain. I know
it's very hard to go through that. My
husband has very similiar symptoms and so
far the doctors haven't been able to give
us a diagnosis even with an mri. I wish I
had some good advice but all I can really
offer is sympathy. There is one thing
that helps make the pain a little more
bearable for my husband and that is coral
calcium. You might try it. It couldn't
hurt. I hope you find something that
works for you.
