A member asked:
What can cause my right knee to make a grinding sound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chondromalacia: Painful grinding of the knees with bending is usually a sign of a condition known as patellar chondromalacia. This refers to an irregular or rough cartilage surface of the kneecap. Exercising to strengthen the thigh muscles is the best treatment. Oral nsaid's such as Ibuprofen may help. Orthopaedic consult may be necessary to assist in treatment.
