Why do my knees hurt when I crouch and walk up stairs?
I've always had knee pain whenever I put weight on my bent knees, especially when I'm doing things like walking up stairs. I've looked up lots of things that could explain my pain but none of them really explain what I feel. It kind of feels like a knife being shoved up underneath my knee cap. It was not a big deal before, but I recently started doing after-school wrestling and they have been starting to hurt a lot more. My dad has a history of bad knees and he said that the doctor could never explain it. He also had Osgood-Schlatter Disease in both knees, which is hereditary, but I am sure that I do not have it.
Could anyone tell me why this is? Does it have a name? Any information would be appreciated.
And its not because I'm getting old. Im 13 years old -.-

if you are an old person, or if you are overweight, that could be arthrosis. an x-ray can confirm the diagnostic
the pain is because in arthrosis the cartilage of the knee came thickness, allowing the bones make friction and that is what hurts
the treatment is mostly with anti-inflammatory or pain medications. and if it is a severe arthrosis joint prosthesis is placed

You and your dad both have tight muscles in your knees that need to be freed up to get you out of pain. You need it really bad for the pain is caused by the joints being pulled together which is causing excessive wear and tear on them, the main reason knees end up getting replaced. The dr.'s have a name they put on the condition because they don't know how to free the muscles up which is all it takes to get rid of the problem. It's hard to know which ones are the cause by what is wrote and they are tricky to free up so having one who does the muscles is best for you.

simplest an orthopedic health practitioner might inform you. knees are difficult. i had knee suffering. the "barroom" consensus was once a torn MCL tendon. while i eventually went to an orthopedic health practitioner, she safely identified a torn meniscus. you might have any quantity of accidents. ice and raise the knee up to feasible. take ibuprofen for suffering and swelling. if suffering persists, see that ortho document.
