Right Knee is ''clicking''?!


Question: Right Knee is ''clicking''!?
Years ago I was hit by a car and gave up running bc my right knee was just not allowing me to run without pain and clicking!.

I've just begun this past Spring and now have clicking in my right knee anytime I put pressure on it (such as going down the stairs)!.

What is it!?

And don''t say to go to the doctor bc he's a dork and doesn't take anything seriously that I say!.

I'd like to hear from someone who's actually experienced it, hence why I'm not at the doctors right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If it's easily reproducible, the dork could help you out!. Clicks generally mean some cartilage has either a tear or at least a ratty spot!. In young women, that's often patellofemoral, but with the past injury it could also be a meniscal tear!. The diagnosis is often easily made on physical exam alone, without so much as the need for an MRI!. But there's the rub: the dork may blow it off if it isn't worth having surgery over, so you have to ask yourself if it's worth all that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK, I've had two major knee surgery's so I know a little about knees!.

It sounds like you have torn meniscus in your knee!. If your docs a dork, go see an orthopedic doc!. He can examine it and give you your options!.

I've torn up my meniscus in both knees!. I barley have any left!. The meniscus is like mini absorbers for your knee!. I can "pop" my knees like I can "pop" my knuckles!. lol

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the club!.
Most likely it is a result of the kneecap displacing laterally when you bend the knee, especially under load!.
If you sit and bend your knee you will feel what is going on!.
The channel which the patella rides in eventually wears and ends up displacing laterally!.
The large issue is pain!. If it clicks but does not hurt you are still ahead of the game!. When you lose the ability to put weight on it or if it just goes out on you, get to the doctor NOW!.
Previous injuries ( car hits) only accelerate the problem!. Mine started in my 30's/ Had it 20 years now!. As it is, it is probably also a function of, dare I say, getting a little older!.
Football and wrestling in high school contributed to mine!.
Chronic pain in a knee is ultimately a bigger problem clicking!. Knee wraps which restrain this movement may only make it worse!.
If you really want to get a good diagnosis you need to see a sports medicine orthopedist!.
