Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
It is important to obtain an exact description of knee pain and of the ensuing events, since this often helps to distinguish one soft tissue from another ( for involvement).
Cartilages are damaged due to mild trauma when raising in kneeling position.
Weight ?
May be due to osteoarthritis,
Both knee involved or one.
If possible , upload the X ray and blood report so that exact nature & type of disease could be established.
Good luck.
