Dear Mr.Arya,
As you are a basketball player,your game involves lot of jumping which ,over a period of time causes soreness and pain in the knee of the leg on which you land most of the time.Furthermore, if you are on the overweight side at present,this agravates the pain as arthritis starts developing as time passes.My suggestion to you is get x-ray left knee AP/Lateral done to r/o osteoarthritis.You can take Tab.Flanzen-D 2 times a day for timebieng to reduce the pain.

first the cause has to b worked out , an old injury is the strongest possibility , any abnormal working posture due to ur height and unsuitable table and chair. seems to b a simple prob . consult a ortopedician . ,

Hi Arya,
As you are a sportsman, the knee pain could be most likely due to trauma. If you notice a click in a typical position of the knee, it could be a meniscal injury. If your knee locks, i.e gets stuck suddenly while extending it, again it could be related to meniscal injury or a loose body. A loose body can arise from a separated piece of cartilage with or without bone attached to it due to previous trauma. In this case your knee may lock in a different angle every time, unlike for meniscus where it always locks in the same angle of knee flexion.
If your pain doesn't subside with rest, analgesics and appropriate physiotherapy, you will require an Orthopaedician's (Arthroscopy surgeon) opinion, an MRI and/or diagnostic Arthroscopy.
An MRI or diagnostic arthroscopy will reveal the problem with your knee.

Hello,

Where's the pain in the knee?

I suggest an MRI scan

Hi.. There are many ligaments that are around the knee joint. They are more prone to get injured during sports.

You may probably be having such ligament injuries.

The treatment for such conditions can vary from just support to the knee joint to surgical therapy.

Hence it is advisable to see an orthopaedician to know the cause and for the proper treatment.

You can start of with knee support and consult an orthopedician for the treatment.

Could be a cyst. My husband had the same thing and had to have it removed. Good luck.
