Knee Pain........what could this be?
A while ago (5 months ago) knee pain started to develop right after I hurt my back. My backs is fine now but within the past 3 days the knee pain has worsened. I made a bed step and now it hurts even more. Basically when I flex my knee it feels as if my knee will have clicking above the knee cap. If my extend my knee it feels as if I will have a clicking below the knee. The knee is also stiff and its hard to put weight on it. The pain isn't so bad and has subsided by a lot but the clicking is very annoying........
What can this be?I have had an ACL tear a long time ago in my other knee and it does not hurt. However I did have some sort of injury that required surgery for my current hurting knee to which I did not want and the pain went away after a month.

Your best bet is to go see your regular doctor or a knee specialist. That's a pretty complicated joint and you can't ignore it since it's crucial for walking. It may be as simple as wearing a brace or using a heating pad. It may be more complicated but then at least you can make a decision with some expert advice behind it. My knees click too and when the weather changes they ache but usually they're fine.
