Chronic pain
My knees are not normal

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this. I am just looking for some real life advice about my knees. U used to do squats, lunges weights etc in the gym but now I struggle to move around. I can't crouch or lean back on my haunches. I do a dance class ok but struggle with lunges and during the stretches my knees feel like they're crunching. We went for a walk last week and I was struggling to get over the stiles. I also struggle to sit on the floor and get up. I got a referral for a physio but I'm scared they'll just tell me to lose weight. I lost 3 stone a few years ago and it didn't make much difference. Although I find jogging and things hard because of my knees. I guess I just wondered if anyone else had this. I'm 40, 5'5" and 13st 10lb 🙈

I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone else has experience of it or if it's normal for my age but I don't think it can be
