It is impossible to give an accurate diagnosis without a formal examination. However, the following may be helpful:-The knees are joints which are stabilised by the shape of the condyles and the menisci in conjunction with the ligaments.STABILITY AND INSTABILITYStability of the knee joint is maintained by the shape of the condyles and menisci in combination with passive supporting structures. These are the 4 major ligaments, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Significant contributions are also made by the posteromedial and posterolateral capsular components and the iliotibial tract. The muscles acting over the joint provide secondary dynamic stability.(Knee instability: isolated and complex.Trinath K Kakarlapudi and Derek R Bickerstaff)It may be therefore, that the 'giving way' you are experiencing is due to ligament damage.It is imperative that you seek face to face medical advice so that you can explore any modifications to activity which may be required.For instance:-Activities can be graded by the risk to the ACL-deficient knee. Low risk (level 3) includes cycling, swimming, stair climbing, and rowing, and medium risk (level 2) includes skiing, tennis, and golf. Although level 2 sports involve pivoting, this is predictable, and a patient can usually prepare for it. High-risk (level 1) sports include high-level skiing, basketball, football, and volleyball where there is considerable risk that the patient can be caught off guard and suffer a twisting injury without time to prepare. Patients with ACL insufficiency are best advised to avoid participating in level 1 sports.(reference as above)

Was Macedonia a Greek city state?Macedonia was an ancient Greek kingdom, not a city state; it was located in northern Greece. Macedonia should not to be confused with the modern Slavic country of North Macedonia, which corresponds geographically to ancient Paeonia, not to the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia.“Alexander was born the heir to the throne of one of the Grecian kingdoms.” (Jacob Abbott, “Alexander the Great”, WLC, 2009)“In less than four years he had transformed Macedonia from a backward and primitive kingdom to one of the most powerful states in the Greek world.” (Peter Green, “Alexander of Macedon, 356-323 B.C., A Historical Biography”, p.32)“After the King's Peace of 387 BCE, the Greek cities continued to be non unified, and consequently the northern Greek kingdom of Macedonia imposed its authority all over Greece.” (Frank L. Kidner et al, “Making Europe: The Story of the West”, Wadsworth Publishing, 2013, p.96)“In the first half of the second century BC he wrote the first historical work in Latin, beginning its composition in 168, when Rome was poised to destroy the Greek kingdom of Macedon.” (Greg Woolf , “The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Roman World”, Cambridge University Press, 2003, p.176)“King Philip of the northern Greek kingdom of Macedon perfected this system, and his son, Alexander the Great, used it to conquer Greece and the Persian Empire.” (Archer Jones, "The Art of War in Western World", University of Illinois Press, 2000, p. 21)“Eventually he left Athens and settled in the northern Greek kingdom of Macedonia, where he composed his final plays.” (Jim Whiting, "The Life and Times of Thucydides", 2010, p.35)“Unity would come to Greece, but it would come from outside the polis world. It would be the Greek kingdom of Macedonia that would finally enforce order on the Hellenic world.” (Stefan G. Chrissanthos, “Warfare in the Ancient World: From the Bronze Age to the Fall of Rome”, Praeger, 2008. p.72)“Along with Silas, and later, Timothy and Luke, Paul travels into the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia.” (Larry D. Alexander, “Home and Church Bible Study Commentaries from the Book of Acts”, 2016)“The Greek kingdom of Macedonia and the Macedonians appear at Add Esth 16:10.14; 1 Mace 1:1; 6:2; 8:5; 2 Mace 8:20.” (“Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible”, Brill, 1999, p.538)“On the ancient Greek kingdom of Philip II and Alexander the Great.” (Derek R. Hall, ‎Darrick R. Danta, "Reconstructing the Balkans: A Geography of the New Southeast Europe", Wiley, 1996, p.94)“The dispute between Greece and [North]Macedonia, dating from 1991, originally focused on the republic's flag, which incorporated the Vergina Sun, associated with the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon.” (Andrew Geddes, Charles Lees, Andrew Taylor, “The European Union and South East Europe: The Dynamics of Europeanization and Multilevel Governance”, Routledge, 2012, p.65)“Macedonia is a Greek speaking Kingdom in northern Greece, populated by people using Greek names, Greek months of the year, worshipping Greek gods. Those who live in Skopje [North Macedonia] and say that that is Macedon and Alexander's homeland, are as ignorant and outrageous as if someone was to say Oxford University was really in Belarus and Oxford was Minsk!” (Robin Lane Fox, Oxford University, UK, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 29/08/2011)Above: map of Archaic Greece (Wikimedia Commons)
