A member asked:

My knees are stiff /pain. my kneecaps used to pop out - i was told i didn't have a bone in both knees. is the stiffness related, should i see a doc.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It sounds as if for have chondromalacia and possibly experienced lateral dislocations of the kneecaps. You should have the problem evaluated by an orthopedist.
