I am 26 yrs old and have been dealing with this for over a year and 1/2. I have been to 3 cardiologists who have confirmed that is not related to my heart. 3 card. and 5 other docs i have seen stated that it could be costochonditis but should have cleared after 6 months by being on roids and anti-inflammation meds. I have had EKGs, xrays, MRIs and stress tests, blood tests, urine tests all have come back negative. I have been through physical therapy as well. I am just 40 lbs overweight is what i am told each time. I have changed my eating habits, excercise by walking more.I am currently taking lyrica, robaxin, savella still feel pain and sometimes have really bad flares up that will take everything out of me.I am at a lost and the pain is taking over my life. I am miserable

PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE ANSWERING:
I’m 21 and after I badly dislocated my kneecap 2 years ago, I never even been to the hospital or gotten any MRIs, so I have no idea the extent of my damage.
The time I injured my knee, a guy helped me pop it back in and I was taken home instead of the hospital. My dad built a knee immobilizer for me and it took 2 months to walk again. After that I never had physical therapy, just regular workouts.
Now this is where I got REALLY stupid: Last summer, a year after my serious injury, I was running barefoot ON SAND 3-4 times a week for an hour each time for 2 months. I weighed 125 pounds at the time. One day I stopped running cuz the knee pain got too bad to continue. I heard that running is the first thing to avoid for a bad knee.
Eventually I’ll go see an orthopedic surgeon and get an MRI.
For now all I’m curious to know is:
WHAT’S THE WORST THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY KNEE AS THE RESULT OF MY NEGLECT? FOR EXAMPLE, LIGAMENT OR MENISCUS DAMAGE?
Sharp knee pain in right knee?
About 5 yrs ago I had a lateral relese on my right knee. I was having sharp pain down my knee everytime i bend over to do something, evertime i would kneel on the floor. This time it has gotten worse.. I can bend over and its yet again a sharp pain, kneeling is the same way.. But whats diffrent about this one is i can just be sitting having a convo with my husband its there it comes out of know were a sharp pain.. It has come to the point were i can’t even take my 14 month old and walk around the house with her it feels like its going to give in.. Even to carry a dinner plate to my husband kills… I have been going to physical therapy for it. had x-rays done but my dr. nor the physical therapist can tell me what is going on with it.. I do have an appointment with a specialist on the 18th!! and can’t wait for it to come.. In the mean time any help about what you think is going on would be great!! its swollen, cracks and pops everytime i walk, even to drive it hurts, i have to have someone else drive my car, i feel alot of the pain on the innerside of my right knee. thats were the sharp pain comes from and it traves down my leg.. any ideas??
