Brief Answer:
Buprenorphine patch

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

You could be having patellofemoral arthritis with possible strain of patellar tendon.

Try to avoid squatting, cross leg sitting, climbing stairs, kneeling. Perform quadriceps strengthening exercises and physiotherapy for knee ROM. Wearing a hinged knee brace will help.

You can apply Buprenorphine patch after consulting your pain management specialist. This will help better with the pain.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
