Thanks Steve and DisneyGirl. I needed to hear that! The part about a minor knee surgery was interesting. Reassuring!!! I have been increasing my stretching of all things to 3x daily and this seems to help. Structurally my knee is sound but I think the utter tightness in my quads and hamstrings and calves are pulling my knee ligaments. That is how I FEEL it is happening. So I am really increasing the stretches and while for sure I have the stiffness and soreness after a walk my area of pain on the knee is not the joint as I thought but the bursa sac so I ice every night...
Disneygirl - my clicking is almost a constant need to make my knee feel right. It clicks a lot when I am lifting weights with my leg or I can just sit here and flext my calf a certain way and click click like crazy. No clicking with walking. Is the clicking something that stays forever or does scar tissue heal? I have been getting massages biweekly and this again seems to loosen things and help....
THANK YOU BOTH!
