MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
She does a fair amount of running (compared to me anyway). For a while now she's had funny squelchy noises from her knees when she climbs the stairs that seems worse after she's been for a run.
Now it's starting to become painful and the noisy knees seem to be getting noisier.
The doctor tends to just say "take some rest", in other words - stop running.
Anyone got any useful suggestions as to what it might be?
water on the knee ?
try anti immflammatories first...

It would have to be pretty bad to slosh...
Get a physio to look at the structure/muscles to see if there's anything obvious but an MRI is likely to be needed if it's anythign to do with the joint itself.
This thread is useless without pic's 😆
Are her slippers wet?

Tell her to try some pelvic floor exercises.
Could be patellar maltracking - see someone who knows about knees & muscle balance. If it is some exercises & stretches will probably sort it out.
