What Causes Pain In Knee Even After A Steroid Injection?
I am having some sever acing in my left knee I am currently taking 800mg of ibuprofen I recently had a steriod injuction as well. The pain subsided a little but continues to ace on the top what should I do? I have reported this to my doctor but nothing.
A thorough clinical examination is advised followed by MRI of the knee.
As you are taking medication and even had a steroid shot in the knee , initially post steroid shot there will be little pain in and around the knee joint which will subside in a few days of time.
Also, for knee pain or knee injuries, physical therapy are actively helpful to regain the full mobility and functions. With physical therapy the pain level can also be reduced .
In my clinical practice, most patients with Knee pain are refereed to physical therapy and they respond well to it.
