Any of you with RA have a kneecap that feels like it’s popping out? When I walk and bend my knee it feels like my kneecap is going to pop right off and its excruciating! Not all the time maybe 50% of the time. Does this mean anything? Damage?

I didn’t have any trouble with my knees until last February, when I broke my right kneecap after taking a fall. The patella healed but my knee was still very sore, and the kneecap no longer tracked well over the joint. Going downstairs was very difficult. I ended up having a couple of PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments and my knee has healed amazingly well since then. They extract your own blood, spin it down to get the platelets, and then inject the platelets into the joint space. It is becoming more common in athletic orthopedic offices, but generally is still not covered by insurance. It is painful, but very quick. I have also done a couple of treatments on my hip as well, and have found relief. I don’t know if it is right for you, but might be worth checking out.
