Dr. Robert Kent answered

Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

Need imaging: I am afraid you will need some imaging to diagnose this issue without more information or physical exam. With your age and complaint, i would assume arthritis complicated by a possible meniscal injury, but this has to be examined to be sure with imaging most likely needed. I hope this helps and best of luck!
