What Causes Knee Pain?
I got Dengue 4 years back and even now I am often getting pain on both my knees especially more in winter season. I'm 33 years old and I'm afraid I should not become disabled at an early age. Do I need to do any specific test? Give me any suggestions to get rid of my pain.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that your knee pain is not related to your dengue in past. I think most probably you are having chondromalacia Patellae which is a disease of a knee joint with cartilage softening. It is a disease which improves with medications, exercises, weight reduction and it will not progress to arthritis. You need to take cartilage supplement like chondroitin sulfate and avoid squatting and sitting cross leg. Physiotherapy is also helpful.
