El Cid   212 #1 Posted June 28, 2020 I am having discomfort with my right knee. Both knees click when I bend, not everytime. I have been taking ibruprofen for ten days, because if I go to see the doctor, I am sure that is what he will tell me to do. So maybe I should go and see him/her next week. I am thinking its arthritis related. I believe they will actually see patients, in person. I recall a work colleague had his kneecap scraped to be made smoother, not sure if it worked, or not. I have been physically active in the past, but this certainly stops that, even the dog pulling on the lead can be uncomfortable.

pattricia   574 #9 Posted June 29, 2020 Sounds like osteoarthritis to me.I would try and get an appointment with your GP because if you have to be referred to hospital there is a very long waiting list now with the Coronavirus. I found Revitive, a massager that  you put your feet on, very helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It hasn't gone away but they gave me some exercises which go some way to alleviate the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
