I am questioning my knee pain, torn meniscus, or osteoarthritis . knee swollen, pain at right side of left knee also , also feeling a clicking feel while my finger is on the spot. Outside of left knee, hurts when pressed. Stiffness at times. Constant mild pain, occasionally severe pain. Especially when knee is a little twisted for whatever reason. Have had no mri or ultra sound.

Hello,
I have studied your case. You are having very bad knee arthritis and it should be investigated properly. I would suggest you to get knee x ray to see if there is reduction in joint gap.
Also you should check your esr,crp level. MRI of the knee is also helpful. If there is very severe knee arthritis than you should avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and physiotherapy.
If it is very severe than you should take doctor's opinion about surgery.I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
