Q: knee pain
asked by: evniza on April 7th, 2008

Over several months i have had recurring pain in/around my right knee. I can honestly say it isn't always painful, but when it is i cannot weight bear and sometimes feel as though i will lose my balance. I can only walk approx three steps without having to grab onto something or someone. I use to get relief when i kept my leg straight - now it doesn't help. Bending my knee while seated is occasionally painful. Recently i had an xray- the Doctor's office called me to come back into their office to review the results of the xray. The Doctor said there is a 'black spot' in the knee xray and the physician referred to the 'black spot' as a 'red herring' - he also said he wanted me to get a bone scan done and he didn't want to wait for the scan to be done. Then he said everything's probably ok - i'm worried. I have the bone scan next week. Does anyone have anything they can tell me about this because i have been trying to research this and so far haven't found anything that would give me any answers. I actually thought the pain might go away when spring arrived - it hasn't - there's no change. I am actually afraid to go out on my own now because i don't know how far i will be able to walk or if my knee will give out and my balance will be off. I'm hoping someone can give me a few answers. I'm worried. Thanks.

Have you got the bone scan results already?
Did this pain develop gradually and increased in intensity over time?
Do you find the knee area tender and swollen?
Are you experiencing fatigue or weight loss?

Hey evniza, are you still on this forum site? If so, please reply to this. I would love to find out if you were able to find out anything about the "black spot" since you posted this post. Please write back, since I am experiencing a similar situation as you were.
