You need to go to the doctor. So go tell your parents. Don't say, "Surgery is out of the question." You are only 16 and that is why we have doctors. Let them make that decision.

Unfortunately, losing weight is probably the best solution if surgery is out of the question. Alot of time surgery doen't even last, as in my case. Try working out in the water, a pool, the beach, it is low impact and wonderful therapy for the knee. I was resricted to water excersise when I injured my knee and it helped me a lot.

Gema,
Get yourself off to a doctor. You could have a wide variety of problems going on there. Arthritis for one. (It can affect any age). You may even have a tumor.
Meanwhile, take some over the counter meds to alleviate the pain. Take it before any activity. And before bed. Apply an icebag.
Ignoring it is not going to make it better. I repeat----Get yourself to a doctor!!
God Bless!

You need to tell you mom or dad that you are having problems
with your knee.There are many different things that can be
going on inside your knee. It needs to be checked by a Doctor.
Please say something, because there is no need for you to go
thru that pain at your age. You may just need a shot of cortizone
to calm things down in there. Don't worry, just tell mom or dad.
Will be thinking of you.

The most reasonable thing to do is go to the doctor or talk to your parents about it.but its better to go to the doctor.You might have some sort of infection or a blood clot or something.
