i have had a lot of knee pain in the past year. it was suggested to me that i may have patella femoral syndrome, so i have been doing all the physio stretches that should be helping, but they are not, and the pain is getting to be worse lately. the past few weeks, i have developed knee buckling and the sensation that my knee is going to snap backwards while walking or standing with weight bearing down on my left leg. it also gives out every now and then, and now i also am experiencing a shooting pain that feels cold and radiates partly down to my upper calf bone, and after the shooting pain is over, the knee feels very cold and achy. (this pain i am describing is occurring inside the knee, and not on the exterior.
any ideas?
thx, mich
