Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Stiffness, Swelling And Pain Below The Knee Cap?
In Dec. 16 I had arthroscopic on my left knee due to a torn meniscus. I still have some stiffness, swelling, pain below kneecap. I do excercise like knee bending, etc. How long might it take to get back to full movement ? I am 75 and in generally good health. I am away from home so cannot visit the ortho surgeon until April. Would P.T. be useful?

What Causes Stiffness, Swelling And Pain Below The Knee Cap?
Hello, As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
