FFS.....Right for over a year, my left knee has been hurting on and off.it's kind of behind the knee cap and it's a stabbing pain. It has made me limp especially when I walk down hill. It only hurts when I walk although it does wear off. I can't really wear heels now as they really put a strain on my knee. I can also feel it if I twist my knee and sometimes my knee feels a bit weak. I've been googling and it seems to suggest arthritis, ffs. I'm 43.
A couple of weeks ago, my left ankle started hurting for no reason. It felt like a sprain, I'm not sure when it started but got quite bad in the night, waking me up, not agonizing but really uncomfortable. When I got up I couldn't put any weight on it and I was hobbling around for about 5 minutes. It ached through the day and I wore a support. It was fairly bad again in the morning but eased off over the next day or two. Yesterday morning, in the early hours I noticed that my right ankle started aching, same kind of pain. Again when I got up I had to hobble about a bit but was relatively ok for the rest of the day and it's better now.
I didn't think much about the left ankle but since having the same pain in the right ankle, I started googling again but seems to suggest another type of arthritis. I'm being a bit paranoid I think as my 40 year old db has arthritis and some days he cat even get up the stairs.
I've just made an appointment with gp. I shouldn't have ignored the knee, should I?
