Question

I've noticed a strange screeching sound near my knee joint whenever I fold my left leg. There's no pain, it's just in my left leg and it's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this?

Could be due to a condition called crepitus. This sound may be caused by the rubbing of irregular joint surfaces or soft tissues around the knee. To help reduce this sound, you can try taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the affected area. If the sound persists or if you experience any pain or swelling, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm starting to get some pain in my left knee whenever I walk about half a kilometer. I had a screw put in there at your hospital 7 years ago. I'm really curious if I should be looking into getting the screw removed or if it's okay to continue living with it. What's the best way to go about this?

I'm having trouble bending my left index finger after I had k wire surgery. It's been almost a year now since the surgery, and I'm starting to worry because the finger not only won't bend but also looks different. They used a k wire to connect two bones. What could be going wrong here? Should I be concerned about the shape being off? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.
