I am 20 years old and I have been have pain on the medial (inside) part of my knee for the recent past year...it went away for a while and now its back, worse than ever. I did not own any specifiic injury however I wear high heels for my job and I am on my feet almost adjectives day and I used to do dance. I am guessing it is from one or both of those two. I have be to 2 different doctors and had x-rays as well as 2 MRIs done. They still dont really know what is wrong. They keep saw it "might be" pes anserinus bursitis/tendinitis or plica syndrome. They said there was some fluid in the bursa base on the MRI, but there is always a small amount of fluid in a bursa isnt near? Anyway, I have had a cortizone shot in the bursa and it did zilch...typically that cures bursitis, or atleast relieves it. I dont really think it is bursitis since the pain is constant and it is like a severely sore ache...also, the pain is not really in the right spot to be an inflammed bursa. Where I am experiencing discomfort is right below the medial(inside) joint line of the knee...the knees is slightly swollen in that area, also. I have tried physical psychiatric therapy and stretching and it has been to no evail. They also said it could be plica syndrome, however, I do not have any problems going up and down stairs and my knees does not click...2 classic signs of plica. I have no idea what is wrong with my knees and the doctors dont seem to either. please offer any assistance you can. I am going insane here.
Answers:    I'm sorry, I have had both knees replaced...but don't understand your affliction at all. If the doctors don't know...then I don't know what to tell you. I assume you own seen an orthopedist? But if the MRI and the other tests show nothing.I simply do not know what you could do. My answer to pain in bones or joints is other to get into the hot tub. So maybe try that. Go to the Y, if you don't have one. Or put a warmness pad on the part that hurts then wrap it around your knees w/a towel to hold it there. Should relieve some of the pain.
Yes, there is other a small amt of fluid around all joints. Why don't you try wearing a much lower heel? If it will save you this headache, it will be worth it...don't you think?
Oh, and by the way I much appreciate your grammar and spelling and correct useage of the english oral communication. Sometimes when you read the questions on here, you wonder if there are any schools education english or spelling anymore. But there really is not excuse because there is Spell check. So does that mean they are so naive they can't even be bothered to check their spelling before exposing it to the world? Looks that way to me.
I hope you find relief for your misery, not a fun way to live.
