What is wrong with my knee?!
Question: What is wrong with my knee?
I am 5 foot 3 to 5 foot 5 and I am 173-175 lbs...my knee crunches whenever I bend my leg. And if I am sitting down for a while (ex. Car ride) my knee Will start killing me. Could this be a torn meniscus or something?

A sense of grinding or crunching is most often associated with bone grinding against bone once the cartilage is worn away. This is commonly found in arthritis. Patients who are young (under 50 years old) seldom have arthritis that will cause these severe symptoms, unless there has been a severe injury to the knee in the past.
