Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain
Hi,
My knee started hurting me in the past 2 months.
When I sit cross legged or bend my knees for an extended period of time, I cannot unbend it without excruciating pain. Then when I attempt to walk, I limp until it "goes back to normal"
Age 46 years old. No previous history of knee problems
Knees do "crack" quite often (like knuckles cracking). Sometimes I need to twist the knee a bit to get it to loosen up, which in turn turns into a popping sound from the knee.... but it feels better after that.
Any ideas?

Dear Madam,
You seem to have knee osteoarthritis by the symptoms that you are telling me. You will need to get some tests done to prove the diagnosis.
