A member asked:
Sometimes my bf (45, high bp , back injury , 145 lb 5'6 ) , his right knee gives out and falls. says he can feel before it happens, what could it be?

Instability: While it's impossible to be certain without examining your boyfriend, realize that a knee "giving out" is a sign of instability. This is often related to ligamentous damage. Your boyfriend would be best suited by seeking a formal evaluation by an orthopedic surgery, as this injury may not get better on it's own.
