knee issues

Message posted by: Dave S.

Ok I will start off by saying that I have a dr. appt in 11 days to have him look at my knee. He is the dr. that did my acl a few years ago so I trust he will set me straight. But I want some mental peace before then…

I am having some new to me clicking and consistent popping of my knee cap when going up stairs. There is some swelling and some ache going on on the mcl side topish part of the knee. This started earlier this week and I have been icing thinking that some swelling caused the issues. Not improving.

I don’t know how I did it. I twisted it a little playing hockey monday night but don’t remember issues on Tuesday. Then Tuesday did my normal 7 mile run. After the run I noticed it. I swam/biked the Wednesday and did not feel like I had full strength in it. It does not feel unstable but does not feel right.

My first thought is that there was a little problem but then the run shook it loose and now maybe a floating something is in there?

Anyone with similar issues?

I am going to Dr. and will be off it for the weekend but just thought I would gather some information / other experiences.

Thanks,

…Dave
