A member asked:

I have a pain in my knees when running or lifting weights. a dr. told me that i have a"water in my knees" without even checking it. what it would be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

see details: You need a new doctor. It is absurd to tell you that there is an inflammatory arthritis without an exam. It is more likely to be tendinitis or chondromalacia. See an orthopedist.
