crap knees
-
my knees are particularly fond of giving me problems but disappear when i am seeing the doc.
varying symptoms over the years which i thought was due to my weight( 65-57kg at 169-170cm)
until i get my hands on a anatomy guide on my knees i think i have to use very layman terms.
types of pain, front-exterior, sides-exterior, deep within the knee, ligaments,
and also stiffness of the knees.
there are times when i detect this sound whenever i extend and retract(?) my knee, this even the MO was able to hear.
everytime i climb up the stairs, my knees seemed to be damn stiff, as if glue replaced my synovial fluid.
occasionally i suspect inflammation of the SF because sometimes the joints get sore and it does feel abit "hot" inside.

It could be the arthrosis of the knees, but it usually affects aging persons. How old are you?
You can have also less synovial fluid and the friction of the cartilage causes the pain and also inflammatory process.
Your weight can't be the reason unless you are not more then 120 cm high.
Do you have a job in which you work with weights or burden your knees in other way? Do you go to gym or do or did some sport like for example athletics? -
The noise you hear sounds like snapping tendons. Snapping tendons around the hip is more common and more likely benign. Snapping tendons around the knee is unusual. You might want to read this report of a patient with subluxating biceps femoris and tendon snapping around the knee. (Am J Sports Med. 2001 Jan-Feb;29(1):93-5.) You might also want to see an orthopaedic surgeon or sports medicine specialist with an interest in knee injuries.

well i am in NS now.
field pack, sbo, helmet rifle adds up to ..10+ kg ?
never go gym or sports 1 -
You are too young for such problems. Those 10 kg more shouldn't be the reason. As oxofrd said, you better see an ortopaedist.

Sounds like you've got osteoarthritis of the knee.Originally posted by bismarck:my knees are particularly fond of giving me problems but disappear when i am seeing the doc.

You might need an arthroscopic joint debridement to 'clean' your knee joint.. it involves the insertion of a scope into your knee joint and removing all the loose bodies and protruding bits of bone from the bony ends, that should help relieve your symptoms. A knee realignment surgery might help too.
Why don't you consult an orthopaedic surgeon for an opinion? These are bread-and-butter cases to them.
