What Could Be The Cause Of Pain In Knee And Calf Of The Leg?

I took a slight pain in my knee the other day, not too bothersome but since went behind my knee, a sharpe pain, then naggy one and is now in the calf of my leg , doesn t bother when when I m sitting but oh when I get up its hard to put my weight on it, then as I walk it eases until I walk to long, then it gets bad.Also their seems to be a spot on the inside of my knee, that when I put my legs together when sleeping it really hurts...What could be causing all of this, I didn t trip, fall or twist the leg, was just walking normally

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

According to your symptoms and findings there is osteoarthritis of your knee.

You can start cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate, that you need to take for couple of months.

If required MRI knee can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.

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.
If you are satisfied with answer do not forget to give rating to this answer.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
