Brief Answer:
Get xrays done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

You should get your xray of both knees standing in AP view done and send me the report. I want to see the present condition of your knee joint.

I will also advise you the exact time and type of surgery you needed.

Till then avoid squatting and upstairs.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

Take aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside 3 times a day by prescription of your doctor.

Do quadriceps strengthening exercises as uploaded on you tube.

Do not stand all of sudden try to stand slowly for about 5 days.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
