Nagging knee pain

2018-02-12 15:23:43
My knee hurts for almost 6 months after cycling up the mountain for a longer time and using heavy gears. It hurts when walking,cycling, climbing stairs. It also has cracking or popping noise when I bend it. I tried exercises that helps for knee pain but still didn't relieve the pain. I'm 22 years old.

From what you have described, I understand that you have knee pain while performing various exercises. It appears that you may have injured the cushions in the knee (called "meniscus") or some ligament injury.
Next Steps
Consult your Family Physician/Orthopaedic Surgeon Get an MRI Scan of the knee
Health Tips
Avoid high flexion activities, i.e. activities where the knee bends more than 90 degrees
