Why Am I Experiencing Loud Grinding Sound From Knees While Climbing Stairs?
I am having a problem with mostly my right knee which makes a loud grinding sound when going up stairs. I sometimes have pain in that knee after a busy day but mostly it is just the sound. I had a bad fall while coming down a set of stairs three years ago and this has been going on ever since. 41 year old female.

hi
thanks for writting to HCM
your symptoms are suggestive of arthritis,in this the joint surface become rough which was smooth earlier leading to sound formation.
my advice would be take diet rich in calcium,vitaminD,Regular knee excercises,avoid climbing stairs too often and sitting on floor with on/of pain killer.Newer medicine are available like inj.hyalgan/synvisc to increase the joint fluid viscosity they also help.
i hope your query is answered.
take care
