Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Vickie, While my knees has never seemed to progress to the stage that yours is presently... I have had knee popping for many years -- especially when I wear any kind of heel. If I walk extended periods in boots or heels my knee aches... so I try not to! BTW, knee popping was with me pre-DS... I was hoping that losing 100 pounds would help... nope! Hope you find solutions soon! hugs, cindylee > > Hi guys and girls- > > I was wondering if someone could give me some info. For some time > now, I have had some popping in my right knee when I walk.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Vickie I'm happy to know you are going to the Doctor about your knee. I've also had a popping knee since pre-ds. It still pops and Locks up sometimes, but not nearly as bad as before the weightloss. I don't hear anything that sounds like calcium def. to me.
