I've just started the process of trying to figure out why my left knee feels off. Best way to describe it, right knee is normal, like the gears are matching up while bending. Left knee, however, feels like the gears aren't even touching and there's this weird space between them. Also, there's pain on inner side of the left knee, where I believe the hamstring wraps around. In the gym, as I walk around and carry weights, the pain goes away. There's a dull sensation that somethings not 100 percent. When I finish things off with cardio, it's as if there's a build up to an eventual 'crack' which feels almost like I'm cracking my knuckles, only it's in my knee. After the crack, nothing. And after cardio, both legs are jello to a certain point so it's hard to tell.
Doctor did a physical. He said there may be some fluid underneath. The x-ray showed no issues. I'm suppose to stretch and ice it often while taking NSAID. I go back the day after tomorrow. So far, nothing has helped. If I sit, I know once I stand and start walking (Standing is not an issue, so I could squat) there's going to be pain for a short period.
The next step is an MRI.
I mentioned to the doctor all the drugs I've been taking and he sees none of them as being an issue. Because of my age, he doesn't think that the MRI will show us that much more than we already know. I guess I'm hoping someone out there may have gone through what I'm going through and can chime in. I only mention the AI because, and I can't remember where, I read that long term AI use can cause joint issues. However, I've only been on the AI for a year...I was about to write 6 months but it's been a year...man time flies when you're dialing in your numbers.
