Any advice on what it could be?...Pain in the knee?!
Question: Any advice on what it could be?...Pain in the knee?
I'm a 17 year old girl and at the moment i'm studying for my A (advanced) levels so im sitting down an awful lot, sometimes from 4am. I used to do tonnes of sports about 2 years ago in secondary school, such as sprints, high and long jumps and i used to go to judo for about 5 years, but ive stopped everything now as we dont have the facilities in my new school.
about 2 weeks ago I went to the hospital for an x ray and the doctor told me that there's nothing wrong with the bones at all. He suggested I take cataflan medicine but it hasnt worked so far and the pain is still there.
Is it something to worry about and is there anything i can really do?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like you have Chondromalacia patella is the softening and breakdown of the tissue (cartilage) that lines the underside of the kneecap (patella). And as im sure that you are discovering the pain will not get better on its own it only gets worse. Please get an appt to see an orthopedic surgeon as soon as you can. I have this in both my knees and i have been dealing with it for 24 years and i have had 10 operations on my knees./
Gosh if the x rays were good then maybe a muscle pull? Also if the cream your mother put on didn't help maybe ice? I have arthritis and heat helps but some people use ice. Whatever works for you. But my guess is a muscle pull.
Whenever my leg is pain, my grandfather will apply some oil on it. not sure if it works for anyone else except me but wish u get better soon
atrites cartilege might thin due to heavy weight do not move your knee too much
People think of arthritis as an "old people's disease".
This is true, somewhat. But the reason for it is because elderly people are usually chronically dehydrated - they drink hardly any water at all. You can develop arthritis at your age as well, if you don't drink enough water.
Arthritis happens when the fluid between the joints dry up due to insufficient water. When the joints aren't properly lubricated, friction results, which causes the pain.
Dehydration is caused by insufficient water intake. Soft drinks and other substitutes don't supply the water you need. These are diuretics that pull out as much as 50% more water than they contain. This all happens gradually, so it isn't felt until a health problem develops.
You should increase your water and salt intake according to the protocol you'll find through the link below.
