Ever since I was a little tyke my knees would hurt when the weather changed and on random other days. My mom had the same problem growing up but when she was a child living in a rural Mexican town, home remedies were used to "cure" her pain. She told me the old ladies put kerosene on her legs to make the pain go away. I don't remember how it went but all I know is that my mom hated that and she still has all the pain.
I still get the pains. Like today. All day I could feel the dull ache in my knees and the left one hurts even more than the other. I really should invest in a knee brace/wrap or as Zac says, I should go to the doctor since I have insurance. Ugh....I hate having to look for a new doctor.
About a year or so ago, Zac told me my knees weren't normal looking. When sitting on the floor and straightening my legs out, the back of my knees shouldn't easily touch the ground. I never realized that I wasn't normal but then I just realized that maybe this is why my knees hurt so much. Maybe this is why my mom had so many problems too. I never asked her but it would make sense. Oh....where is my analgesic old lady cream.

i wish i had health insurance, so i could let it go to waste, too. that seems like a great idea.
The back of you knees should touch the ground I think...maybe I haven't seen the full extent of what you mean. I think we'll need to see a demonstration.
similar to this, only not quite that far and on both knees.
are you talking about knock knees?
not knock knees its what zac linked to-hyperextended knees.
I already knew you weren't normal. No surprise your knees aren't either. ;-)
