Sopharia, my cousin has the same trouble with her knees rubbing against bone. However, she is about 20lbs. underweight and that is probably why her knees are rubbing her bones. There is nothing there to take the impact of the rubbing. There used to be something that was called 'fluid on the knee' and the fluid was drained from the knee. Do they drain it and it keeps coming back? One woman I know had one knee replaced and it turned almost sideways. Haven't seen her for a while so don't know anything more. Another woman had both knees replaced and the doctor botched the job and she was in the hospital for 3 months. I feel bad for you that the doctors don't know what is causing the fluid to keep coming back? Barb
My husband at one time had what is called a Baker’s cyst behind his knee and had it drained. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bakers-cyst/DS00448 Connie Sopharia, my cousin has the same trouble with her knees rubbing against bone.

The fluid isn't just om my knee it is everywhere. They are trying to figure it out. Like i said after the hospital i lost 45 # so I can breath again and that is wondereful.
