perhaps sqad or somene else can give an opinion on my knee.
There's nothing to see - no bruising, redness or swelling, and it doesn't hurt when i walk.
BUT, for the last week or so, if i kneel on it (even on the soft bed or a cushion) it is excrutiating! I leant over the back of the couch 15 minutes ago, looking for something and the pain hasn't gone yet!
I remember a few weeks ago, at work, I knelt on an upturned lego brick, and I would have sworn, had I not been in a pre-school!
I don't feel i can go to the doc with nothing to show him. He'll probaby say: well don't kneel on a cushion then!

Hi Sqad - hope you are keeping cheerful in the run up to your op - what a time to have it done! Hope you can enjoy Christmas to some extent - we are all thinking of you and wish you well.
My knee problem is that it sometimes lets me down, I can only describe the feeling (and excruiating pain) as "walking out of my knee cap" I walk and my knee cap doesn't - I just howl with pain and nearly fall to the floor. I had a scan when my knee swelled up three years ago and they said it was a torn cartilege but it seemed to heal on its own. Could this be part of the same problem or something different? It affecting me so much just lately - all my friends say I need a knee replacement, my friend had one last year and hers was not half as bad as mine........ I'm 64 - what do you advise please Sqad?

Hi! Ann.
First thing tomorrow morning (Wednesday ) and it can't come quickly enough.
Your symptoms certainly suggest a tear of the knee cartilage and this in turn can lead to degeneration of the joint. Might I suggest a return to your GP with a view to an MRI scan on the knee and that will be the definitive force that might or might not require knee replacement.

Thanks Sqad re my knee problem. Its been ok again this week, thats the problem, every time I think I OUGHT to go and get it sorted - it gets better! I'm such a coward really as I would hate an op (Here's me saying that to you just as you are facing a much more serious op and keeping really cheerful throughout, I'm ashamed!) I did have an MRI scan three years ago which proved it was a torn meniscus but when it seemed to get better on its own, the consultant said to leave it and see how it goes .......... so whizz I was off like a rocket from his consulting room! We are all thinking of you x
I'm saving these for when we meet sqad, now don't get too excited, it's not good for you.
