How Can Severe Knee Pain Be Treated?
bad pain in right knee inside hurts to touch about quarter in size. Had total knee replacement in 2012. Dr. said looked fine in xray in Dec. About 7 months ago felt a pop in calf thought it could have been a hamstring. Wore compression sock that helped some then pain went to knee area in Nov. and hurts to lift leg to get into my Kia. Taking Alieve, ibprophen, and tramadol. Using heat and cold packs some. Losing weight has been a major problem because hurts to even walk.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
