I have knee problems with osteo arithitus. This has now progressed to my other knee but with different symptoms. Early morning alls ok. After about 5 hours my knee stiffens with pain when I move right to left. X-rays show just normal wear and tear but could this be due to a fragment of cartridge moving in the knee that the X-ray hasn t detected?.
