    I have congenital patella maltracking. I always thought I was just knocked kneed. I thought knee clicking was just normal for everybody. Then, in my late teens, I started to have terrible knee pain that severely limited my mobility. My orthopaedic consultant showed me that my knees were not knock kneed but my patellas slid diagonally towards the medial aspect. One patella did it by 30 degrees, the other by 25. No amount of physio was going to solve the maltracking and clicking. I had the worst patella realigned with the patella tendon resited. I wasn't keen to have the 2nd done as it was a painfull operation to recover from. However, as I get older the uncorrected patella is now causing a lot of problems, so I am looking at finally having the second realigned.

  • @christophermason7735

    I've been doing similar exercises for years with hip circle bands, but I've never thought of doing them this way. My knees and ankles are fine on the flat and walking uphill no problems at all. Walking downhill however my outside of my knees hurt and I often sprain my ankle. I know my knees come inward when I walk down hill or down steps. And when I push really hard on my bike my knee sometimes comes in and strikes the cross bar, and ankle the peddle arm. My IT band also starts hurting the outside of my knee. It would be great if you can prepare a video for problems walking downhill or guide me to an existing one. It would be great to leave the walking poles at home and not have to keep taking Ibuprofen on hill walking.

    Ugh, I hate the clam. We used to do it in aerobics class back in the 80s. All that lactic acid builds up and it burns. The clicking in my knees depends on what I eat, so it must be inflammation. Some days I don't have hardly any. Other days, it is up all 3 flights of stairs on both legse (when it's food inflammation). After the 2nd dose of Moderna I couldn't even do 1 flight of stairs when the week before I had been 3 flights of stairs twice daily for 7 years. The pain was unbearable. Couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders, either. Chest pain. Bizarre and frightening at times. No pain now, thank goodness. It is interesting all the things that can cause this. I definitely need to strengthen my gluteal muscles, though. I can't deny that.

    Great video. So just out of curiousity if you experience knee clicking during certain exercises like squats, and there is no associated pain or discomfort before, during, or after the exercise, should one stiill consider doing such exercises to address the knee clicking. In other words is there any long term benefits(i.e., prevention of long term knee issues), or just addressing an annoying sound?

    I have this in my right knee, but it happens when the knee is bent and I am putting weight on it, like bending over to pick something up or to do something with objects that are on the floor. With each click, my knee collapses what I will call one step. Then it clicks again and collapses a little further. This may go on for 5 or 6 repetitions, each time my knee collapses a bit more and goes down, down, down like a wind-up toy winding down. The only way to get out of it is to support my weight completely on the other leg and straighten my right leg back up completely. The only way to prevent it happening is to keep my leg straight, sort of locked into that position. If I don't, and this happens while I am walking, the sudden click/collapse can make my knee buckle and give way completely. If there is nothing stable available to reach out and grab, I could go down (and have done so). To keep it from happening requires keeping the leg stiff/straight while walking, which is not a natural gait.

    I have an experience similar to this, too. I have quite bad arthritis in my knees, and worse in my hips (which is the limiting factor for my mobility). I've had that give-way-while-walking thing occasionally - thought it was more my leg muscles giving way, which was quite alarming. And then quite bad clicking like yours when I am shaving my legs (in the shower), and I am holding the position for a few minutes. (This doesn't alarm me quite as much, since I have enough available support not to worry about falling over - but the clicking itself is quite bad.)
