knee pain can be caused by bone/joint related or muscle. you need to identify what's the cause. btw you might think you don't have swelling but you might actually. i had those symptoms before and didn't see any bulges but the dr quickly identified areas where he said was obvious swelling. though the symptoms were muscle related, the issue was joint related in my case.
didn't really answer your question, but best advice i can give you is don't shrug it off and let this shit linger. might be nothing, but might be something...don't wanna pay for it when you get older

Thanks, I wish I had a family doctor but since I moved from the lower mainland to the interior (7.5 years ago), I have been checking regularly and there are zero doctors taking new patients so walk-in is my only option. They opened at 8:30, I was there at 8:40, booked me in for 11:15. I showed up just after 11 and they got me in at 12:05. I was in and out in literally less than 5 minutes. She did say she could see swelling and poked around on both knees and asked if I could feel the differences. I couldn't but said I could because what do I know... she's the doctor. Anyways, I got a prescription for an anti-inflamatory cream that two pharmacies have now turned me away because they don't have them in stock. Awesome.
