I Have A Knee Ache When Feel It There Is Criptus Sound.
for many years i have aknee ache when feel it there is criptus sound.i thought that iam getting taller but iam now 21 years old.the pain is not severe but it occurs alot
Do you get more pain every time your knee crackles ? Painless sporadic, crepetus is something you need not worry. If you get pain in other joints also you will need some blood tests and an Xray.
You should consult an arthroscopic surgeon to rule out osteo-chondral defect in the knee, which I havwe found in many patient who had dull boring pain, which was not found out even on MRI Scan
I suspect it is an innocent sound. Painless clicks / sounds are common. Usually they wont require any surgery/ arthroscopy. Most of the ''clicky knees'' requiring surgery (like chondral defects, loose bodies, meniscal tears, chondromatosis etc) are significantly painful. If you are worried get a proper assessment by an orthopaedic surgeon.
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
In my opinion it is better to rule out any intra-articular pathology. So consult an arthroscopy surgeon & ask for a diagnostic-cum-therapeutic athroscopy. It is always better to find out diagnosis & get cured for it, instead of being in dark.
Take care
