What Is The Treatment For Knee Pain?

Both my knees grind and pop and have sharp pain when walking up and down stairs. Sometimes when walking my left knee feels as though it pops out of place and then back into place. I can not do squats or lunges. I feel as though the cartlidge may be completely gone. What are my options to fix my knees?

Hello,
Since there is grinding and displacement of knee followed by relocation,it suggest-knee arthritis with ACL and medial meniscus tear.
A MRI will çonform the findings.
Line of treatment will be based on findings-if the tear is of grade 3/4 then a operation is required and with a tear of grade 1/2 conservative management with physiotherapy can be done.
Till then you need to take rest and avoid movements at knee as it will further worsen the condition.
A knee brace will prevent reccurent dislocation.
Hot packs will reduce pain to some extend
Hope you find this helpful
