Suggest Treatment For Pain And Discomfort In The Left Knee
Consult an Orthopedic surgeon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for the query. I have read it & also your previous queries carefully & understand your concern
Though the left knee pain you can be due to inflammation of ligament / bursae on inner side of left knee. But all of your complaints in last few days, with pain in lower abdominal without any digestion problem, pain in foot & now pain in knee can be explained as a nerve pain caused by pressure/ irritation/ pinching of nerve fibers supplying left leg.
The level of nerve irritation can be at lumber spine (spondylosis), abdomen ( pressure exerted by fibrosis at hernia stitches/ by mesh inserted during surgery ) the Hip joint ( sciatic notch) .
I therefore would suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon who would examine you physically & advise for investigations like X ray/ MRI of spine or knee as per indication. Coming to the diagnosis - specific treatment would be given to you (NSAID pills, Vitamin D & calcium supplement,Steroids( oral/ local injection), physiotherapy or surgery )
- Till then you should take rest/ apply hot or cold packs in case of severe constant pain/ Take pain medicine like Ibuprofen 400 mg over the counter, twice a day after eating.This would help you for time being.
I hope the answer is helpful to you. You are most welcome for any follow up query.
Please accept my answer before closing the query.
Thanks.
