How Can Medial Knee Pain Be Treated?
I had a cortisone injection in me medial knee 9 days ago, the day after I had sever pain unable to walk and that continued until day 6 I am still quite sensitive and have trouble with steps. My dr that done the shot said it will b a cortisone flare, but it is still continuing with sharp pains and constant throb also swollen medial side and on top, and I am just noticing small white pigmentation in the skin. Should I be worried that this is going on too long and also the swelling and pigment?

hi
medial knee pain can be due to variety of causes-osteoarthritis or any form of arthritis in joint or sprain of medial ligaments of knee.So depending on diagnosis,probably your doctor has injected cortisone.Going by arthritis as a primary diagnosis, fomentation and physical therapy, mild knee exercises are advisable.9 days after shot, pain should have lessened.Since it hasnt, you consult back your doctor.he may like to investigate the cause with x ray/MRI
thanks
