About Karen Brawner Expertise I can answer questions regarding osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I can also answer questions regarding other autoimmune diseases of which rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.
Experience I have a family history of rheumatoid arthritis and I myself suffer from osteoarthritis. I also suffer from systemic sclerosis and CREST syndrome which are also autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.)
Question I am 27 yr, 5'7" and weigh 120 lb (51 kg) and healthy . I like to exercise to keep fit. I have started feeling a pain in my knees when I stress them extensively during exercise.
What could it be? Why do I get the pain? How to cure it?
Answer Dear P., The possibilities are many and therefore you need to get a proper diagnosis as to what exactly it is before you know why you get the pain and what the treatment might be... If it is some type of arthritis, there will be no cure....
I would suggest that you get an appointment with an Orthopedic Specialist..... In the mean time here is a web site with a list of possible knee problems....
