Brief Answer:
As detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history and also noted the history of you being a Martial Artist.
To recapitulate: Male/30 - fat pad impingement - wants to know how to treat it ...
No comments about a Visit to a Doctor or Medications tried...
Since the problem is due to fad pad impingement the following standard treatment is advised:
Rest and avoiding aggressive activities.
Cold fomentation with ice pack wrapped in a cotton cloth to avoid cold injury.
Physiotherapist can give you TENS and Ultrasound therapy as well as teach you the muscle strengthening exercises around the knee as per the pain allows.
Oral medications in the form of anti-inflammatory and steroids of short course in tapering dosages can help further and would be advised by your Doctor as and if needed.
Very rarely surgery to remove this fat pad may be needed if the medical/conservative management fails.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
