Can you get a referral to orthopede?they know more or sports orth?I have an issue that my patella (knee cap) doesn't stay in the groove (sometimes called floating knee cap). It makes all sorts of noises but only hurts if it floats in the way of something. I use a knee band and it is fineBUT _ you really should see an orthopedic specialist. Knees are nothing to mess withjudyFrom: Trisha Brandt

i have a knee question for u guys, running is fine but exercise is getting difficult. my knees click and pop alot and it used to just be noise but now it's actually starting to hurt. i haven't done anything out of the ordinary, i am not over using my knee suddenly, and my doc. i was just there this morn says its from use, ur getting older ur body is going to make noises. my doc sucks but it's the only one my insurance will cover right now and grr i don't know what to do? any suggestions?

This is quite interesting summary of studies of runners that found they do not develop knee injuries (unless they previously had knee issues).Also getting strong quads, hamstrings, core, and hip stabilizers help prevent knee issues. I miss running. need to get stronger before I start though!judyhttp://well. blogs.nytimes. com/2009/ 08/11/phys- ed-can-running- actually- help-your- knees/
