Answers:
There could be multiple reasons for your weakness!. The most obvious would be muscle degeneration (atrophy)!. It is possible that due to the issues with your knees (pain, weaknes, etc) you have attempted to compensate by changing the way that you use your muscles!. This may be consciously or not!. This will cause deterioration of the muscles used in lifting yourself up!.
To answer the other two who have answered your question, unfortunately you are not too young!. There are many people younger than you who have had knee problems, not just from sports injuries!. Degenerative issues occur at all stages of life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive suffered similar bad knee problems for years & luckily I found an orthopedid specialist who is keen to help me delay or avoid surgery as long as possible because Im still young too!. He said artificial knees are never as good as your real ones!. He told me I have to exercise to keep up muscle & joint mobility!. I wear these therapy garments knee brace to support my joints & relieve the pain in my knees so I can walk every day!. They warm the joints & muscles to help keep them flexible!. Ive also lost some weight from walking which has helped a lot too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The scoping of your knees should only cause you a temporary problem!. You need to have a new pt instructor to focus on the muscles that you need to strengthen!. Dump the Dr!. He is an idiot!. You are much too young to have that problem!. I have had knee surgery twice and am 63!. I work out on a Schwinn Airdynn bike daily and do not have the problem you have and I have a metal knee!. Get a better Dr!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
