Pain knees: Chronic pain in the knees, with feeling of giving out can be related to osteoarthritis (oa) with degeneration of menisci and ligaments. Weakened joints and supporting musculature can lead to the type of instability that you describe. If conservative measures like physiotherapy and joint protection techniques fail, an orthopedic consultation to assess need for surgical intervention might help.
