Squawking sound from my knees?

Question

I was told this is due to lacking of fluid in the knee cap, could climbing the stairs make the condition worse? anything kind of excercise can improve the condition? btw I am in my 50

Answer 1

There is a sac that holds a fluid called synovial fluid - it lubricates the knee joint. If the synovial fluid leaks out, the knee won't operate smoothly.

Exercise will not fix this condition. It requires surgery to fix.

Answer 2

First of all, there is no space for fluid in the knee cap. Its function is to create an attachment of the ligaments of the upper and lower leg. There is the possibility of an arthritic condition. There is also the possibility of capsular fluid within the knee itself. Another possibility is a Baker's cyst.. would be found on the back or fold of the knee. Should it turn out to be fluid in the knee, it can be drained.

You need to have an actual determination of what the problem is and have it treated properly.

Answer 3

Jumping, pounding, twisting sports may cause damage to the joint. Activities such as cycling cause the least, and basketball has the greatest potential for cartilage injury. Generally the cracks and pops that occur with bending down into a squat are normal. The noises that occur going up stairs are usually normal also. However, if the cracks are painful, a sports physician should assess the joint.
