What Causes Severe Knee Pain?
I have a pain in my knee that has persisted for about three months now. The pain ranges anywhere from a 2 to an 8 or 9. When I bend the knee, I can hear a grinding sound (like sand) on the interior of my right knee (just to the left of the patella), but the pain is more frontal. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are having knee arthritis. This is causing grinding sound and pain.I would recommend you to get x ray of the knee joint. if there is stage 1 or 2 arthritis than you need to do physiotherapy and life style modification.
If there is grade 3 to 4 than you might need a surgery. You can send your knee x ray to me for better advise.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
