Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

Hi
I am 44 years old
I am suffering with a pain to right knee
Mainly to the outer side and round the back of the knee
Worst when bending down
Gardening really aggravates it
Or just generally bending
I was a very active with the gym over past few years but have slowed down over past 6 months due to the tightness in the back of the knee.pain can be quite severe at times and then just mild with tightness there all the time.
Would be grateful for advice as taking paracetamol and ibrufen .
Thank you Lisa

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in knee and especially front of knee and round the back can be due to causes like Chondromalacia, Bursitis, Patellar Tendonitis, Arthritis, Osteochondritis, Ton Meniscus etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, CT Scan , blood tests, Electromyogram etc as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

You can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkillers, muscle relaxants, warm or cool compresses depending upon the cause, physiotherapy to relieve and strengthen the muscles,weight loss and avoiding vigorous workout and long hours of continuous standing or sitting..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
