My knees are going!

Occasionally, I have problems with my knees. Today, for example, I was trying to sit down on a bus and I suddenly got a very severe pain in both of my knees. I also having problems when I crouch for long periods of time, whereby my knees become very stiff and click when I try to stand upright.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what they think is wrong and what I can do to make it better? I'm only 18 and I play rugby and golf very often, so I don't think it's a fitness thing.

I've been laid up for 5 weeks now and my plans for the hols runied:(
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Cod liver oil??? But that tastes funny!!!
If not, snow and rock (a mountain sports superstore I practically live in ) has a physio department upsatirs. I haven't used the place, but it looks good. Aparantly some stuff there can also be paid for by the NHS, so there's no harm in trying.
Where abouts in london do you live? What sort of activities do you need your knees for?
If you want to know more about Snow and Rock PM me.
I have knee problems as well. After going to the doctor and hearing the regular "rest, and it should be ok" reply, which didn't help. I went to a physio-therapist. He found out exactly what was wrong and has give me some excersizes. If these excersizes won't help in the matter of around 3 months, then I will probably be due for an operation :eek:
It's not serious at all, but he just said that it would be a shame to get worse knee problems which I would if I hadn't dealt with this.
Getting a second opinion, from a phyio-therapist can't do harm.
I think there's a Snow and Rock in west london (i live on the other side), so i'll look up the number and give them a ring.
Basically I need my knees to be in good nick for all the different sports i take part in and to be able to play drums.
I have bad knees following several years of playing football (I was a winger, and spent alot of time dribbling, twisting and turning)...Unfortunately my knees now won't allow anything more than a gentle kick about, I can't ride a bike and stairs sometimes hurt like fuck.
It turns out that I also have flat feet which has meant that my leg muscles have developed badly. My gym had never picked it up (no surprise there) and so I had to change the way I trained. I have a little more movement now...
Shit. I have very flat feet as well. Do you think that contributes to the bad knees, or just general fitness of the leg?
Yes it does contribute... As it is the whole foundation of the leg. Have the same problem, and the physio-therapist explained it to me.
Dude. Thread. Dead
Go to the doctor.
