[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1966878, member: 113623"] I am 28 and have chronic knee pain as well, mostly clicking and popping going up or down stairs and just constant discomfort. Went years just dealing with flair ups and not being able to walk after doing certain activities (running down hill, especially on cement) and finally broke down and got an MRI. It didn't show anything, and my doctor referred me to a physical therapist. Basically what they determined is that I have fissures and scar tissue in the cartilage under my patella that is just never going to go away. Six months or so of PT with recommendations to use the stationary bike and do lunges, etc, never really helped. I was told I could manage the flair ups but we were essentially going to treat symptoms forever. Painkillers don't do anything and I was advised not to ice because it just slows the metabolic processes. What finally cured my pain (before COVID) was going to the gym and using the incline squat machine to get my quads nice and strong. Nothing else has come close in terms of effectiveness.
