What Causes Knee Pain While Suffering From Arthritis?

I hurt my knee about 10 years ago playing with the kids in the back yard and I twisted and landed hard on it to the point I was in excruciating pain. I iced it and took Advil and for over a week it was very swollen and hurt to walk on. I went to a doctor, they did a x ray and he said, there was arthritis in it. I let it go at that. Several years later, I noticed the pain gets worse the more I use it or standing on it for long periods of time. sometimes I can feel something in my knee click and move and hurt. Do you think I possibly did more damage than arthritis in it and now I need a knee replacement or some other damage?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Meniscus tear can be associated with arthritic pain.

You may need MRI to confirm internal tear.

Meniscus tear pain will disappear after TKR.
Post operative Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises for early recovery.

Total knee joint replacement patient find good difference in mobility after joint replacement.
So you can do TKR after consulting joint replacement surgeon, there will not be any problem probably.
