Whаt аrе thе symptoms οf arthritis? Whаt dοеѕ іt feel lіkе, dοеѕ іt sound lіkе i hаνе іt οr nοt?
most likely its not arthritis, its just a torn tendon that hasent healed properly, in the worst case it could be torn cartilage in your your knee which will require surgery- worst case… Go back to your family doctor and fully explain to him/her what is going on and make sure that doctor understands your full situation of past discomfort and pain!
Well my knees pop and crack..Sometimes they just ache up to my thigh..Is this also part of your issue?
You most defiantly could have arthritis.I know that you are only 16 but that is how old I was when I was diagnosed with it in my knees. The only way to find out for sure is to get to a knee doctor and tell him what is going on and he will let you know what the course of treatment is.
