Ma'am yesterday i have undergone a xray and the local doctor said there is no chance of arthritis because the knee gap is normal and now I'm confused. How can i send you pictures of xrays for confirmation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am a general physician and as per my knowledge the xray looks normal. The clicking sound in knee can be due to a ligament strain. To detect any injuries in ligament or cartilage best investigation is CT scan or MRI scan.

I hope this helps.
