Knees popping more and more

[Guest guest]

I know I posted about this a while ago, but I still can't get over it. My little

guy's knees have been popping like maniacs lately. It started with an occasional

popping here and there and now it's gotten to the point where it is LOUD. I'm

really worried that it's eating away at his cartilage and will cause long-term

damage. When we saw the doctor about a month ago, it wasn't as bad and he said

it was just the knee caps sliding in and out of place. Now it has gotten so loud

and the sound is so distinct (not to mention the feel of it). It even has

started bothering my little guy. He'll let out a little cry when it happens and

then he's ok. It's hard for me to tell if he's in pain when it happens or if the

sound just scares him since he gets over it so fast and breaks into a smile

right after. He's wearing the s 18 hours/day and the bar is should-width

apart. I've just emailed Dr. Ponset about it too, but was really curious if any

of you have heard anything about this

before. Thanks.
