What Causes Knee Pain And Hip Pain?

Hi, I m 17 years old, 5 3 and weigh 110 lbs. Lately I have been having bad knee pain for unknown reasons. While I stand in place for minutes are a time my hips and knees have pain if I try to walk. Also when i m walking from class to class maybe after 50 feet my knees start to hurt. Sometimes I do hear grinding but none recently.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

It is necessary performing some tests in order to investigate for a possible connective tissue disorder or a metabolic disorder. In this regard, I would recommend performing these blood lab tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency
- Blood electrolytes
- Fibrinogen plasma levels
- ANA and ANCA titer antibodies
- Rheumatoid factor plasma levels.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
