Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.
Persistent
Knee Pain is the most commonly reported problem. History doesn't have any report about your age. As certain condition is common in elderly.
It might be the result of
1. Inflammatory conditions like
Osteoarthritis,
Rheumatoid arthritis or Gout.
2.
Tendinitis or Bursitis or damage to the
cartilage 3. Infections or Baker’s cyst
4. Obesity affecting the weight bearing joint.
I advice you to,
- Stay fit & healthy by doing regular exercises.
- Take analgesics & anti-inflammatory
- Glucocorticoids injection into the joints if pain & swelling persists even after using analgesics.
- Also try chrondroprotective agents twice daily
- Do CRP and RA factors to rule out arthritis.
- Xray both knees if needed
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
