unusual knee pain

[vam44]

It sounds like to me that you may have some osteoarthritis forming within the medial compartment of your knee and and at least and X ray or (preferably and MRI) would be able to correctly diagnose your knee Alternative provisional diagnoses that come to mind are hamstring tendonitis, cystic degenerative changes of the medial meniscus.

A correct diagnosis would guide the exercise advice but I would advise knocking off the 5kg leg lifts and replace with prone eccentric hamstring exercises for starters (your physio should be able to show you how to do these). Keep up with the balance exercises roller blading and swimming and cycle <1.5mile.

let us know how you go with your knee!

osteoarthritis? I'm only 24, is that possible? seems a bit serious but, thanks for the info I'll stop the leg lifts for now and keep up with the other exercises.

EDIT: I forgot to ask, would anyone know a decent physio in glasgow? also if it would help I could post a photo of the knee? its just that there's alot of suggested diagnosis
