Over the last month or so my right knee has buckled like jelly maybe six times when I put my weight on it to get into a standing position. It's painful when I try to get up if I've been kneeling down or sitting on the carpet. I'm consciously favoring the left leg and using that alone for leverage but when I forget and try to stand up, phew! It makes me wince. I'm guessing it's some kind of arthritis starting since there's no redness or swelling and it's not sore at any other time. Any ideas on what it could be or suggestions on what to try?

Christine, you're about the fittest person I know what with you being a surfing babe so I'm hoping you might have an idea about this.

Thanks Christine. It seems to be easing off for now so maybe it'll sort itself. I'm definitely not as conscious of the pain as I was and it's not buckled recently. I was wondering if it was arthritis setting in or something like that. Cheers for the help. :)

It could be, just be aware of it and ice it when it gets sore. Aleve is good for that kind of pain too. Glad you're feeling better!
Thanks, I'll pick up some of that then. Usually I take Ibuprofen of some description, which I thought would help with it being an anti-inflammatory. I appreciate the help. :)

Could really be arthritis. Do see a doctor to have it checked further. Have had arthritis for some time now and I only get through the day thanks to my pain relievers. Tramadol has been so far the best help. You can ask your doctor about it for further info.
