I'm not sure what to say in this really.. At the moment I'm on my break from university, holding up two jobs and struggling with a constant pain in one knee, and occasional pain in the other.
It's been over a year since I hurt my knee during a dance class, leaving me unable to bend it for a couple of days. That quickly improved but that knee never seemed to get completely better. Ever since that day, it has not stopped aching or hurting.
Now, of course, I went to the doctor about this and told him my symptoms. In fact, I've been to three doctors and physiotherapist and none of them have made it any better - some describing it as growing pains and others as weak muscles. If anything, it's worse now than it has ever been - and my other knee seems to be feeling the strain.
So, I decided to do my own exploring, looking up information from all over the internet etc, in order to get some idea of wht it is.
I think it's osteoarthritis of the knee... but I'm not sure, and I feel like I can't go and discuss it with my doctor for fear of being laughed out...again. I'd love it if anyone had any advice for me, or experience with osteoarthritis that would help me approach the right people, or diagnose myself?
