Should I Go For Checkup Of Knee As Getting Problem With Walking?
I had compound fracture with im rod & screws 7 years ago. The rod was removed 4 years ago & i had knee surgery for torn meniscus. I had occasional knee pain throughout the years that has since increased to a dull deep ache every other day. I lost my arch immediately after the first surgery its uncomfortable to walk long distance. While walking the knee often it clicks. Its caused chain reaction of other problems including back/hip pain & shoulder surgeries prbly due to crutches. Is it time to get the knee checked out to see whats going on?

Hello,
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to go for a repeat MRI for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
