Avatar m tn Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem that I have been dealing with for some time. Everytime I extend my legs I hear a pop sound from both my hip area as well as my from my knees. It sounds like my hip and my knees are popping or snapping with every movement that I make.
Avatar f tn I'm exactly the same, I'm 27 An relatively healthy. My doctor doesn't really say anything that means anything to me, but I know it's not normal for all my joints to ache, he said iv got cartilage trapped behind my knee caps, tendinitis on shoulders and capsulitis!

Avatar n tn There are many good herbs and vitamin suppliments on the market today designed to help in the management of muscles and joints. One that is good for joints is called Glucosamine. This is an amino acid that is naturally found in the body and sometimes the body needs a boost. Glucosamine suppliments helps increase the body's ability to produce more cartilage which in turn can help make the ankle and knee stronger. It is recommended that you add 1500mg per day for 1-2 months.
Avatar n tn Althouth he found this extremley painfull the more he got his joints moving again the less he got them. It was very painfull for a few weeks but now he is walking unaided and painfree apart from the occasional cramp. So I would say stick with it and it will get easier.
Avatar m tn Hi, it would not affect your knees and no std causes knee pain.
Avatar m tn I have had pain behind my knee for almost a year now. I had a meniscal tear taken care of last June and I was told it would also take care of the ganglion cyst that had developed. 6 weeks after the surgery I was still having the pain and discomfort behind my knee. I experience increased tightness and pain with exercise....the more I use it the less I am able to do. Even walking causes discomfort. I am not able to pick up my foot and move it back as if trying to touch my butt with my foot.
Avatar n tn I have noticed that my skin is very itchy all the time but only on the joints i.
482924 tn?1333203671 I'm having pain in the left knee for the past few months which has now spread to other joints like the ankle, right knee, wrist, fingers, hip etc. I've been to an orthopaedic. Knee x-ray shows arthritis. Blood test results for uric acid was 6.9. Doc gave me meds. After 1 month repeat test showed uric acid as 3.5. But pain in the joints have worsened. Doctor told me to get blood reports for serum calcium, vit d & anti ccp. Tsh too. Reports were - Ca 9.0, TSH - 1.
Avatar f tn 2) Since I have the arthritis in all of my joints, including my right knee, how much more stress will a fusion be putting on my right knee because of having to adjust my walking gait to accomodate the fused knee? Is there any difference between this amount of stress to my "good" knee between a fusion and a replacement?
Avatar n tn Well, the first knee could be causing pain due to a cartilage, ligament or a meniscus injury since this happened on using the knee joint. However now since multiple joints are involved, it goes more in favor of associated arthritis. It can be osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or even reactive arthritis. You would need some tests and X-rays of the joints to diagnose this. The pain in the joints can also be due to overweight, hypothyroidism and diabetes. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn My mother has recently experience these symptoms: shoulder, wrist, hip, knee pain. Plus, in the mornings sometimes she can't make a fist, and experiences "buzzing" in her joints throughout the day. Especially her hands. She also experiences a great deal of back pain and she bruises easily. She has been tested for parvo, limes disease, arthritis and lupis. no luck yet. she also can be quite thirsty throughout the day.... any idea?! she has been given naproxen as a pain killer.
Avatar f tn i help my 74 year old father work on his three apartment buildings; this is what i have worked for for many tears, and now that the time has come for me to start helping more as my dad is less able, my body seems to be dis agreeing with the whole thing. There may be other options and further tests- and i guess that you have to weigh the positive and the negatives of each outcome. Good luck!
Avatar n tn t get out of bed for about six months. During this time, my knee joints became swollen, painful and stiff, with some loss of muscle mass around the knees and in the legs. (I was severly depressed!) Is it posssible that being bedridden for so long caused this problem in the knees, or is this condtion arthritis? Have you seen joint swelling and pain in some bedridden patients? I'm very curious and i'm in a lot of pain.
Avatar f tn i have sorta the same thing when my pain started i felt like an old man i'm 25 male and my hip joints and knee joints ached really bad for like almost two weeks and i thought from doin ceiling sanding on dry wall gave me a disc slip that i thought it was sciatica and it sorta went away after the two weeks then about a week later it came back again and now it's been like a month maybe more and now not only is it hips and knees i have sensation of pain all through my legs especially down b

Avatar f tn d be interested. i think it may be something to do with our knee caps. i think the back of peoples kneecaps are generally smooth and ours are rough. but i don't know for sure. i used to get it a lot more when i was younger, teens to early twenties and sometimes it hurt too. a few of my family have it.
Avatar n tn Hello~You are on the right track by taking the B vitamins, they are the "Nerve vitamins" I would take a good, high-potency complete B complex, it is best to take them all together as they work best instead of taking just one B vitamin, such as B12 alone. I also suggest seeing a chiropractor, she may have some misplaced vertebrae in her back causing some pain in that one leg, it doesn't always cause pain in both, especially if the pinched nerve is more on one side than the other.
1652468 tn?1302900498 I am looking for drug free alternatives to treat arthritis in my knee, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
1401023 tn?1280781358 My Rheumotologist did a really in-depth lab panel on me to try to figure out the cause of my migrating arthritis. One day it is in my wrists, one day my elbow, one day my knee, always in my Sacroiliac joints (they are swollen and warm to the touch all the time). I had to wait 5 weeks to see him, he is very thorough and I like him but I am concerned. I had my lab work done on Aug 6th, the results were faxed to him on the 10th. I picked up hard copies at the lab I go to on the 12th.
Avatar m tn Hello! I'm 14 and I've been having knee pain for 2 years. One doctor told me it's growing pains but I don't really believe it, becuase I don't grow much anymore. The second doctor told me it's because I don't have enough synovial fluid in my knee joints and he offered me injections. I don't know what to do. What if there's something else that causes this pain? I've also got knock knees. Can this be the problem? Please help me!
Avatar m tn Back to the stupid gram per day of tylenol, but that's more for the newly bad knee and it only works so-so for that. Since it's just one finger, I just try to remember not to use that hand for lifting.when it's acting up. Standard TX for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis is anti-immune meds. I'm sure you'll agree that's not a good idea for one who just had chemo to amp up the immune system to KILL level.
Avatar n tn 6-8 weeks postpartum, I developed severe swelling in first my left knee, and then a few months later my right knee. The swelling was at one point so bad that I could not bend my knees and I had to attend PT to regain some range of motion. After several months it was discovered my TSH was 29. My dosage was increased and now I am on 100 mcg of Synthroid--and my knees have since improved. (I have also had carpal tunnel symptoms off and on, but less severe since my meds have been adjusted).
245285 tn?1220498346 There was no popping sound or anything like that. The next day, my knee was swollen to the touch. It hurt even for anything to brush against it. Range of motion did not seem to be affected. But the affected knee was much larger than the other, and was puffy. I avoided squats and lunges for a week, but did some deadlifts yesterday and on the last set my knee felt weird so I stopped. And now it feels and looks like there is a hot water balloon inflating in my knee cap. It burns.
