Okay...this is one of those questions that have been asked a thousand times...but I need to ask one more time.
I have recently doing a different part of my job that requires getting up from a chair many times in the day. Of course the chairs tend to be a little lower than most that I have at home. So recently, I have noticed that my knee sees to be popping and clunking more and is slightly uncomfortable. One task that has also gotten difficult is stepping up onto a curb...forget stairs.
I know that the knee is fine (I tell myself that). There does not appear to be any obvious swelling. I suspect that there is probably some internal swelling and muscle weakness.
I do my quad building exercises almost every day. I feel like my ROM is reasonable...better than 100.
I take Mobic(NSAID) daily, tylenol as needed.
Does anyone have some ideas or suggestions to help decrease the popping,clunking,thumping.
