Is Indentation On Outer Left Side Of Knee While Having Arthritis A Cause For Concern?
I was diagnosed with arthritis at 27, I am now 43. I work 12 hr shifts as a caregiver for adults with dementia. My knee is grinding badly to where I can here it walking up abd down steps. I noticed tonight an indentation on the outer left side ofbmy left knee. Material against the knee is irritating and it constantlyand hurts and at times the knee is hot or there is burning. I cant get into an orthopedic surgeon until 7/14, should I be even more concerned than I already am noticing an indentation?
