Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history and symptoms there can be injury to ligament or menisci of knee.
I will advise you to do MRI knee, check your Vit B12 and Vit D3 level.

Apply ice or a cold pack to the painful area for 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
Till time you can take anti-inflammatory and calcium with vit D.
If swelling is giving pain I will advise you to further investigate.

Partial tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy by USG and TENS.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
