Re: Another question about knee pain/judie

[Guest guest]

that catching sensation, or your knee locking, is due to torn

miniscus (sp?) my ortho doc told me when the cartilege on the top of

the leg bone in the knee joint gets certain tears in it, the upper

leg bone can catch in it sometimes, resulting in a locked knee. and

yes it is painful! arthroscopic surgery allows them to go in and

repair or remove the torn cartilege. been there, done that.
