Hi my name is vanessa. I am having problems with my my knees. It started with very loud grinding noises. I did not. Make to much of it untill it got painfull climbing stairs walking sitting and getting up. My knees lock aswell wich is very painfull and makes the use of my knees difficult. I started noticing my knees swell and most of the time there is redish colour around my knees. Just the slightes bump agins my knees is painfull aswell well as touching the knee. I started using ib brufen tablets but it only numbs the pain as I have a work where I climb stairs and walk up and down the whole day. Today I was accidently bumbed and I fell on the front part of my knee. I have been in pain the whole day aswell as a pins and needle feeling in my knees. Getting up in the morning it feels like I m forcing my knees to bend. The noise and pain is getting worse aswell as using my knees.
