Suggest Remedy For Pain And Discomfort In Knee

Hi there. I am having some discomfort in my knee by I don t feel it is enough for an appointment. I am a former college athlete, 24 yrs old & have had a torn meniscus, and some cartilage damage. You know, your everyday athlete problems. For the past couple years I have had problems with my knee giving way and sometimes really hurting in a bent position. It mostly comes up with stairs and especially going down stairs. It feels like it is in the front or the deep part of the knee, to the point where I wouldn t know where to put my finger if asked to point out the pain origin. Any ideas?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
