Recently i had checked for arthritis and the test results were negative. Can there be any other reason?

Brief Answer:
Followup

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Other considerations could include a torn meniscus or some damage to the soft tissue of the knee. In this case your doctor might need to obtain an MRI.

An orthopedist may also recommend arthroscopy to look inside the knee and clean out any debris which may be causing some instability.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
