Question

My knee makes a clicking sound when I walk and I can't squat or sit cross-legged without really bad pain. What could be causing this and what treatments or meds might help? Should I consider surgery if it doesn't get better?

Knee clicking and pain when squatting or sitting cross-legged could be due to several issues, including meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, or patellofemoral syndrome. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain relievers, or, in some cases, surgery. If pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or instability, it's crucial to consult with a doctor or orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment

I've been dealing with neck pain for a couple of months now. Sometimes it eases up, but then it just comes back after a few days. At first, I thought maybe it was from sleeping in a bad position. I'm really starting to get concerned. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?
