Meniscal disease: DegeneratIve knee disease may have damaged the meniscus between the tibia and femur. Repeated ‘trauma’ can cause your symptoms by allowing a grinding effect between these bones, consider isometric exercises for knee strengthening and an off loading brace to stop the ‘grinding’. Topical Voltaren Gel 2-4 times daily and/or oral NSAIDS may also help. I suspect you maybe seeing an Ortho doc soon,
