Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
As per the description, there is an excessive pain in the right knee after a bed rest of three months. Since the broken bones have been ruled out on X-ray, a posterior cruciate ligament, medial/lateral collateral ligament, medial and lateral menisci, joint capsule, synovium, crossing muscles or bone cartilage. It needs proper clinical examination and relevant investigations to diagnose which among these is hurt. Your x-rays are excellent and show no gross bony abnormality whatsoever. It leaves us with possibility of ligament, meniscus, capsule or synovial injury. These are best visualized on MRI (Magnetic Resonant Imaging).
A pair of knee supports can add to stability and decrease the pain that you are having. Do proceed with MRI.
In the times of acute pain, exercise is not recommended.
It is best to get avoid any exercise till the exact diagnosis is made out.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
