Back in Feb 2013, I suffered from knee pain in both knees which gradually got worse. By November 2014, it was too painful to walk. I was referred for physiotherapy for a couple of months, which did not help. So I was then referred to a knee specialist. He thought it was a meniscus tear and sent me for an MRI.However, the MRI scan shows that everything is fine.The knee specialist said I am knock kneed so that might be causing the pain, but it can't be fixed. He also X-rayed my hip and found a small amount of arthritis. But he said that as I am 32 the arthritis can't be treated until I am older. I am surprised by the arthritis as I had a blood test for arthritis a couple of months ago, but it showed I was all clear. The knee specialist said I should just take painkillers and see if the knee pain gets worse after a few months. He discharged me. I am not sure what to do next. Lately, I have been getting a burning pain and so have tried ice packs, which stops the burning. But I still find it very hard to walk and have rarely left the house since November. I am not sure what steps to take next. Any advice would be appreciated.
