Knee Problems?!


Question:

Knee Problems?

Hi everyone! I've always had bad knees, but lately it seems my right knee is really hurting a lot. The side of the knee cap every now and then pops out of socket, and I have to pop it back in. It doesn't hurt, but it is uncomfortable when I have to do it. Does anyone know what might be going on? I did lose 120 pounds and i'm wondering if my extra weight through my earlier years might have something to do with it. Oh, i'm 31 years old if age is a factor. Thank you!!

Wow! 120 pounds? Congrats! That's a really big achievement.
Check with your Doctor.
I think that your knee has been so used to all of the weight, and now it's just showing signs of that. If it hurts, ice it. But most definitely check with your doctor.
