Been having problems with my knee.?!
Question: I have been having problems with my left knee. It hurts ALOT! When I have been sitting for a while and get up, I am limping badly. I have had a bad gait for many years. About 20 years ago, the doctors thought I tore my ACL. I am wondering if it could be related to that. Any help could be great. Thanks.

The best way to tell whats going on with your knee is to see an orthopedic doc for x-rays and an examination. A torn ACL would cause your knee to feel loose an unstable. A meniscal tear would cause your knee to pop and click ... arthritis is most likely what is going on with your knee ....
Try looking around your knee for any bruises or cuts. Try lightly pressing lightly on different parts of your knee, then, -if you dont find anything- press a little bit harder. You might also want to check for any disscolourations. In any event, consult your doctor and see your possibilities.
