Pain with activity: Iliotibial band syndrome (@ knee) can result in lateral (outside) knee pain as the tight it band snaps across the prominent lateral femoral epicondyle above the actual knee joint line.

Xrays, exam, & history will determine cause.

Question 7

is buckling of the knee a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis? i never had ra and now my doctors is considering it to rule it out? any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Knee instability: If buckling of the knee is the only symptom your having with or even without pain, it's not a common symptom of rheumatoid arthritis. Buckling is usually a result of some kind of internal derangement in the knee like a meniscus tear or acl tear. I think if this is the only joint you're having problems with, the diagnosis of RA is highly unlikely, especially if it's just buckling or giving way.

Question 8

what causes tricompartment l knee arthritis? how does it progress? please explain any symptoms or treatment options. i am only 50 and in extreme pain

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: Most knee pains lasting for a short time will resolve If not the examination of the knee is much more important than the x-ray results so your doctor is the best person to answer this. Knee pain often improves with physical therapy. When knee arthritis is severe, greater than 6 months and affecting ones ability to function  surgery or injections  can be considered
