If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

I'm getting a clicking sound in both knees with pain and discomfort, plus slightly bow legs. One doctor diagnosed a discoid meniscus and recommended surgery to trim it, but another doctor said my MRI looks normal and suggested strengthening exercises. My legs still feel really uncomfortable what should I do since the opinions are conflicting?

Discoid meniscus can cause knee pain and clicking; if MRI shows no tear, try 6 weeks of physio first‚Äîif pain persists or worsens, surgical trimming may be needed.

Controlled diabetes allows safe hip replacement if sugar and vitals are stable; premium prosthesis like ceramic or titanium are costlier but last longer with less wear.
