Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On The Knee
Hello, my left MCL in my knee is to small it had really been killing for the last 3 months, my doctor said that I need to use a heated conpress to help with the minor swelling that happens from time to time. It is truly excruciating pain, it practically hurts doing anything. Is there any brace or any treatment that will help through out the day and somewhat relieve the pain?
It is important performing a knee MRI in order to examine better the soft tissues in your knee. You may need to perform surgery (endoscopy) to help improve your situation. In the meantime, I recommend trying Naproxen for the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
