    maybe you can check with nurse at school?

    I noticed your note because I just had one knee replaced - note I am 65

    The knee is one of the most complicated joint in the body which is why so many people get knee injuries.

    Since it sounds like you've been having problems with your knee for a while, it is time to make an appointment to have your doctor take a look.

    I am no expert on this, but it c ould have had a long term affect, but again I suggest you go and see a doctor and sort it out one way or the other.

    Good luck

    Sounds like a Discoid Meniscus, Google this & see if your problem relates to this, if it does see your Doctor :slight_smile:

    Advil works well on joint pain. An old injury may be flaring up...sometimes it can heal on its own but you may also take a fall since the knee may be unstable going up and down stairs etc. Sounds like you have inflammation in there certainly. Its always best to see a health professional, the office call and basic xray shouldnt be too pricey and maybe you can make payments to the office for small portions, at least you would have a diagnosis.

    If your school has any sort of health office or anything, definitely go there. You don't need insurance to do that, and that might help. An ice pack on your knee might make it less painful to do basic things until you can get it checked out though, or even wear a knee brace.
