Since I was a little girl, I have had a problem with my left knee. I have been to countless doctors and have had numerous x-rays done of my knee showing nothing wrong. I have also had physical therapy and nothing works. My knee aches all of the time, especially when it gets colder, it has constent shooting pains and is extremly sensitive to touch on the front part below the knee cap (even sometimes to clothes). Do you have any ideas as to what is causing these problems with my knee and/or what steps I could take to find out?

you need an orthopedist, you need an MRI to diagnosis, then they can refer to pain management/surgery if needed, you might have chrondomylasia, it is a degenertive process that destroys the pad between the patella and tibia. this pad can be replaced with a bio compatable material. with severe cases,joint replacement may be the only option.
