16 Year Old, Recurring Knee Pain For Years, More Painful Before Periods. Cause?
I'm a female and 16. I can remember having knee pain since I was 10 or 11. I'm about 5'9 and 250lbs. I know my weight is probably a factor. Could it be anything else? The knee pain is on and off. It will last either all day or 30 minuets. And it gets really painful right before I start my period. Nothing seems to help. I've started a diet and hopefully once I lose a few lbs the pain will decrease a bit. But I'd still like to know what the other causes may be. Thank you!

The common cause for your childhood onset pain may due to Rheumatic
arthritis which need blood test like Aso titre/RA Factor.
