Severe knee pain
Here lately I have had issues with my knees locking up, I cry every time I try to stand up and it takes multiple attempts to stand and when I do there is a popping noise, knees are swollen.And the pain is excruciating in the morning.It hurts to stand and to sit. Could it be arthritis? I do have a exstensive family history of arthritis as well.
Did you injure your knee anytime ? If the pain is without any knee injury and there is locking sensation in the knee,it could be a sign of early degenerative changes in the knee joint.You can get an X-ray done for your knee to rule out arthritis.Since you are having early morning pain it means there is inflammation in the joint.
Next Steps
you can apply cold pack to relieve the pain and swelling,and can take anti inflammatory medicine for instant pain relief,like ibugesic.
