Need Medicine For Pain And Stiffness On The Knee

3weeks ago started having pain inner or medial aspect of right knee. Can t straighten it yet. I ve been able to bike and a little running. Doesn t hurt much then but after not using it, it is stiff and hard to straighten. Weight bearing does not cause pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi you have pain on inner aspect of (R) Knee and are unable to straighten your knee and there is no pain on weight bearing . In my opinion this kind of pain usually starts at the hip region or groin and there is referred pain in the knee. I would suggest that you start pain killers . muscle relaxants for about 10 days and if there is no relief then go for an x ray of hip and knee.
