grinding in both knees
I have suffered from grinding in both of my knees for some time now. I am 42 years old and wanted to try a workout routine. However, the grinding becomes very loud. Am I causing harm? I have never been diagnosed with any particular knee problem, but this has gone on long enough. Any ideas for me? I cannot afford health coverage and this is why my knee problems have continued for well over 5 years. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated

There are many possible causes of the “grinding” in your knees and the major possible cause of it is the Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The cause of this syndrome is the poor mechanical alignment of the kneecap on the thigh bone (AKA femur) when the knee cap moves every time you bend or straighten up your knees. The poor tracking is caused by
