    what do your X-rays or mri's show ? no one here is a doctor. your doctor is the best one to guide you to the best answer to your question. I don't have a crystal ball to know what the interior of your knee looks like . at this point if your in a lot of pain maybe it is time to have knee replaced.

    i had a painful knee for many years and finally had it replace a couple years ago. no more pain. it was such a relief.

    sending healing blessings your way.

      thank you! oh yes i am not really looking for a medical opinion but rather people with a similar experience ! i went to the dr who suggested due to postpartum period that its the hormones that loosen everything up ! so i started physio and no diagnostics were recommended . i have zero pain at all. i just have trouble walking normally out of fear of recurrence. thank you for your reply
