| Have you had your knees checked out by a dr.? Like hat said, you may have had some knee problems that you did not know about because it was covered up by your using. Maybe you have a knee prob. and it is slowly getting worse? I hope not for you. I would see a dr. and get it checked just to rule it out, then talk to your dr. about lowering your dose to see if it gets better. Then you would know if it is a side effect. Good Luck to you… |
I had a torn meniscus(sp), but it only started out as my knee popping…and the more I worked in the printing press company, crawling around in angle bars and running the web through the press, the worse my knees got with popping. Eventually, about 8 months after it started, it was to the point that I couldn’t stand for my knee to pop when I knelt down. It began with me kneeling down and hearing a loud pop, sounded like my leg was breaking…and by 8 months later, it was popping and shifting out of place a little..
When the DR did an MRI, he said I waited WAY too long to come in, and that arthritis had built up in my knee really bad, which he couldn’t do anything for. But I also did further damage by waiting…because what started as just a torn meniscus, evolved into a torn meniscus and chondral flap — the cartilage that protects the end of the joints on both top and bottom had come loose from the top bone, and was sticking strait down. This was the shifting motion I would feel when it popped, and when it DID pop, and I stood up, it was bone on bone grinding until it shifted back. I still have the MRI photo somewhere, you can see it…
