Been barely been able to leave the house due to bad knee pain for 2 years!
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have pain in both knees and it's limiting my life. It is a grinding and burning pain that happens when I walk.
I’ve had MRIs, X-rays and blood tests, but they have shown nothing.
Just before the knee pain started I was doing 20 minutes of jumping jacks a day. And before that I was using the treadmill for 30 to 60 mins a day. But surely if that had caused the problem it would have healed after 2 years or it would show on the scans.
At the start of this year, I have managed to build up to walking outside for a bout 20 minutes before the pain starts. However, a few months ago I was referred to a physiotherapist and now even this 20 minutes of walking has become difficult.
I find the physiotherapists exercises to cause pain. However, she says it’s normal and after a while the pain will stop. But I have been doing them for a few months and seen no improvements (The pain from the excersies has lessened, but I’ve not seen an improvement in my ability to walk without pain).
I’d really appreciate any insights as I have tried everything, but I just can’t get me knees better!
I am a 33 year old male living in England.

The exercises that cause the pain are squats. But apparently, squats help to build up muscles around the knee and are supposed to be good for it.
The pain is on the front of both knees. It is a burning mixed with grinding pain.
I have had no surgeries on my knee.

i'm not sure what to say. request that you see a surgeon, not a doctor. They know much better. Also, if you're not happy with one surgeon's diagnosis, see others. It has been years, so there's definitely something wrong
