Hi I am 23 years old and I have severe pain in my right knee. This has been ongoing for 2 years or so. When I bend my knee it make a very strange squishy noise and hurts. I also have pain in my right hip that comes and goes. I can push my hip in and out when it hurts to stretch and it goes away for a minute then it comes right back. I have mentioned all of this to my doctor. At first he said it was growing pain. I m 23 I should be done growing. I want some kind of relief or answers. Thank you!!
Hi, thank you for the brief history of you. As you mentioned your symptoms you should first take the x-ray of knee in the airplane view if it is malt racking of patella or either an MRI of knee for any soft tissue damage.  Also as you mentioned you are having pain in the hip as well, I will be interested to know what is the pain like, tingling, numbness, radiating, burning etc. what? If it is of anyone of the above you can take an MRI of lumbar spine to rule out any soft tissue Injury as well. And treatment will be planned accordingly. Also, before you go for all this why don't you do some exercises and see if your pain can come down. Try performing knee strengthening exercises and core stability recovery also try performing exercises for gluteus strengthening as well. Pilates will be of good help as well. You can take assistance from a physical therapist who can teach you the proper technique to perform. Also I hope that this works out for you and no worries bothers you. With the grace of God I wish you a good health and excellent recovery regards
