My left knee seems to be swollen. When I went to the Orth. they said it was just arthritis. I am now noticing that this same knee seems to get very warm, it feels hot compared to the rest of my body, does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advanced.

i had an operation last year for meniscus repair and now i have new kind of pain in the knee.
doctors have 2 opinions: 1) lubricating the knee by using injections (Suplasin injections)
2) doing an operation for polishing the cartilage of the patella.
i am looking for the best medicine/injections to avoid doing another knee operation.

Any foods or supplements would be appreciated. I know about fish oil, vitamin c and nightshades already.

I have knee pain at age 29. But it’s not just a little knee pain. I have meniscus tear and arthritis too and im poor so i could never get any treatment. Many jobs want people who can walk normally, and move from place to place. Some jobs even want people to stand all day long.

What jobs can I do??? I’m not a guy with high level college Phds or whatever. I just had a BA from 2003 and mostly my area of work has been office assistant type of jobs. I was a filing clerk and stuf flike that.
But now, i can’ even do that.

So what the heck can i do??

Im only nineteen, but my knee hurts whenever the weather changes. I this arthritis? I used to take martial arts and i got my knee stretched pretty bad but i was able to walk it off, and it was when i was like a 14 year old. Im confused as to what it is, anyone know, last docter just said it was normal.

I am a disabled Vet that has arthritis in my right knee due to a fall at my first duty station. My left knee feels just as bad *PAIN* wise as my right knee..Could I have arthiritis in the left knee also from compensating the pain from my right knee to my left knee…Serious responses appreciated….

does anyone know the symptoms for knee arthritis and or may be able to tell me what I have? please help each day the pain is unbearable some days it goes away but comes back later!!! help!!

For over a year now. . I’ve had constant knee problems. Specifically my left knee.
I know I’m only 15 years old…but my concern is junior athritis in the knee.
Symptoms I’ve had:
-swelling
-blue, purple, red coloring. . .
-pain
-stiffness
-weak.
-lost 4 pounts. [im 5feet 8inches & now 111 pounds]
-have lost my appetite…which is a big deal if you know me
-unengertic & CONSTANTLY TIRED!! & I’m like the most hyper person you will meet…
-when I’m up moving around…my knee cracks typically…ohhh 3-7 times a minute.
-even when I’m just sitting on my bed with my leg out…my kneeis very uncomfortable & it hurts.

I have already been to a doctor…he didn’t do any tests…he just said he THOUGHT it was Osgood Schlatters. Which is plausiable…but I feel like it’s more than that. Especially since he did no tests….

What are you guys thinking?

ive had it for a while but now its starting to hurt. wheres a place i can get a knee support or brace?

my mom has developed knee problem from osteoarthritis. She is 55 years old. due to the problem, she couldn’t do the gardening she likes doing.
i have heard about knee replacement, but i’m wondering if there is any other solution. i’d highly appreciate any answer to my question.
thanks
