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.
My inner side of the left knee has been progressively getting worse over the last few weeks. When stepping and my knee is in the suspended portion of motion, it s extremely painful. As well, when walking up stairs where weight is being applied to my knee. At rest, no discomfort. Feels at times like it s going to come out of joint.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have progressing severe pain in the knee. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like ACL injury , torn meniscus , knee bursitis , patellar tendinitis or arthritis. I would suggest you to take proper rest , apply warm compresses several times a day , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and do gentle massage with almond oil . Consult orthopedic surgeon if condition doesn't get better . Doctor may order blood test , CT scan , MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , methotrexate along with physical therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
