Can somebody help me with this. I'm young I mean way to young to have arthritis at all. But my mother and her side of the family has a history of bad knees, I some how I contracted it from them. It has really gotten bad though. I have a hard time living life like I could be living. Feeling like i'm missing out on being able to feel comfortable most of the time.

The problem is that I just got out of my job that I was working full time doing allot of running around and lifting stuff. My pain got real bad about 2 weeks into the job and after while I had to wrap my knees with ace. But even when I did that, my knees still felt really bad pains and sometimes I couldn't even bend my knees all the way. But now that i'm out of my job the sharp pains are gone but it's worse then they were before I went in. I have a horrible braking, cracking, pulling feeling in my knees if I keep them in a position for to long, and everytime I bump my knees while there relaxed it feels like there going to lock up on me..

When I was younger my knees actually locked up on me a fews times. Really bad pain. I had to get into the bathtub and slowing straighten them out until they would snap back to normal and the pain would go away... I got some x-rays done on them but I haven't got them back yet and it's driving me crazy ... Can someone please help me.. Thanks
