Weight Gain During Pregnancy, Loud Squishing, Tender Spot On Right Leg, Soreness, Stiffness, Moderate Pain, Slight Pop. Advise?

Hi! I'm a 41-year-old very active woman. I gained and lost a lot of weight during pregnancies (70 to 80 pounds x 4). I have a very loud squish to my knees going up and down stairs as well as squatting. Also on my right leg there is a definite tender spot just below the patella that gets tender with exercise as well as when the weather changes. I know when it is going to storm because my knee goes from a squish with no pain to a squish with a definite tender spot, soreness, stiffness, and moderate pain. what is it? Also, there is a definite slight pop and grind on full extension.


Thanks.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain and stiffness in the leg can be related to vitaminD3 deficiency associated with pregnancy, a local injury or an inflammation in the area. Direct examination is needed for diagnosis.
