Who here has/had trouble with their knees?

I had a knee reassembled back in 9th grade.  It does a lot of what you describe.  According my orthopedic surgeon, I should be having these troubles.  Different things make it weak, and your change in activity probably aggravated some of the ligaments.  I live with constant popping from my left knee, but aside (accord to ortho doc) from replacement, I'm just stuck with pops and discomfort.  There does come a time where discomfort over rules "just dealing with it" and something has to be done.  I would start keeping your DR informed of what's going on and level of pain so when the time comes, there's plenty of data to back up a decision.

The girlfriend is a physical therapist and so are a number of her close friends. From being around them I have a whole new appreciation for their level of know-how. Find an outpatient clinic in your area and have them take a look. Her best friend fixed up my buddy's knee pretty well and he's had chronic pain for over a decade.

I'm pretty sure he's milking it though, because that woman is smoking hot. Probably worth blowing out a knee if the therapist is cute enough.
