Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Pain on inside of right knee, knee is swollen and slighty discolored. Injured it over 2 weeks ago in basketball by hitting it against a player with a metal knee brace. Pain in lower right back/side at the waist. It hurts to walk, run, bend over, etc. Any idea of what it could be?
As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. MRI knee will help to diagnose. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG andTENS. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home. 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
