The knee and grion tenderness remain. What could the Physician identify as the cause of the patient s knee and grion pain? What is a possible treatment?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The tenderness in the knee and groin could be due to a muscle spasm after the injury in order to avoid weight bearing on the toe. You need to give rest to the leg and take oral muscle relaxants and do a hot fomentation in the area for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
