A member asked:
I am 68yrs and have been experiencing knee pain. i have never had this problem until 3 weeks ago. any reason why this could be happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: At 68, it is very common to have age related wear and tear (arthritis) that can flare up periodically. Also, cartilage tears (meniscus) are common even without a remembered injury or cause. If it does not settle down with ice/rest/low impact exercise/nsaids then see a doctor for an evaluation and treatment recommendations.
