Knee noises..advise

[joelbc1]

Knees snap, crackle and pop. No real pain associated with the noises. Had a meniscus repair (clean up, very minor) a couple of years ago.
At the time of the diagnosis, the orthopod said he was not concerned about noises but he was concerned if the joint felt like it was "catching" during movement........hence the clean-up.
I'd rather buy golf balls than spend $$ on an office co-pay, so any one familiar with noisy knees have any answers?

Crepitus.

Sounds like you caught the knee AIDS.

Prolly ligaments snapping back into place. Mine do this too. Doesn't hurt, just real loud snaps and pop sounds.

I'm no DR but....For a lib idiot like yourself I'd say amputation immediately.
For others on the right side I say its just noise and if it's not causing pain or swelling you're ok. Typically it's bone joints releasing fluids, etc. Played some ball in my time and mine crack all the time, love the sound - brings back memories.

You're gonna die.

Sooner than was the case before you started hearing your knees.

Obamacare will take care of it for nothing, anyway, so why are you worried?

Seriously (the foregoing was not meant seriously), mine seem to go through phases. They haven't been complaining much in recent months. I always figured it was just part of getting older and less limber. If it starts to hurt, or actually limits my mobility, I'll ask the sawbones about it. Not yet.

How active are you? When I weighed over 300 pounds and thought exercising was a trip to the fridge my knees were like rice krispies. Lost the weight and started walking and running and lost the sound effects.

Don't judge me!!!!

I've also suffered from crepitus since I was about 14, give or take.

You have to be a nurse. You either work in the medical field or you read WebMD for entertainment

She told me she was not in the medical field.

I would have recommended a labotomy if it hadn't already been done yrs ago.

An amputation is likely the best alternative. At the neck region would do it.

 

[LuteHawk]

The knee has cartilage which serves as a cushion. When
the cartilage begins to deteriorate you can get weird noises.
Overweight people can put undue pressure on the knee
cartilage and the cushion effect is gone.

Stretch your IT band and hamstrings everyday. Twice if possible for 15 minutes.
Ice twice a day for 30 min. Front and back of knee.
Wear a compress knee brace or patella band when you are on your feet.

If you stick to that for a while your knee should heal.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

^^ This ^^ Stetch your IT band (quad) and hammys

 

[satrinny]

IT band is not your quad - it is a fibrous band that runs to the outside of the knee and is really quite inflexible. The quad is the large (group) of muscles on the front of the femur, or thigh bone.

Stop sucking wang without using knee pads. Problem solved.

If you want to cheat like most professional athletes do. You can get some hgh, equibolone, or nandrolone. Joints and cartilage heal slowly because it is hard to get blood flow to those areas. The right steroids multiply blood flow.
