A member asked:

I have osteoarthritis in my knee. the pain comes and goes in minutes. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Pain related to osteoarthritis typically is dull ache that is often increased over the course of activities. Sudden pain that comes and goes suggests something mechanical such as a meniscal tear or a loose body which is engaged into the joint. If this is accompanied by catching, locking or giving way, consult a orthopedist.
