Hi doctors, Im a high school student very envolved in my sport, but I have a lateral patellar luxation from a previous injury about 3 or 4 years ago that has never quite healed, if it even does at all. All my knee X-rays show nothing wrong with my knees though. I am pretty sure I have knocking knees and I have a lot of joint discomfort and pain whenever I walk only in my left knee. I do have scoliosis if that may have something to do with it as well. My parents alway tell me I walk with a limp, but I never notice it. Is there a way to fix it or reileve some of this pain because after all these years Im finally at my whits end.
Hello, If you are knock knee then in that case there are increase chances of subluxation of patella in such cases with increase in knee discomfort with age. I shall advise you to consult to your orthopedic doctor for this. It is right time to cure these issues. You may need surgery or only some exercises to get relief from this. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
