Suggest Treatment For Knee Synovitis
Question: Age 24, Male, Weight 195 pounds
Starting using a treadmill about 5 months ago starting from a slow walk to jogging.
Two week ago, my left knee started to make loud popping sounds and basically gave out on me.
Now, it is still making popping sounds accompanied by moderate dull and achy pain only on the right side of the knee.
It is also warm to the touch only while walking and feels like fluid is trapped beneath the knee itself.

Brief Answer:
Might be knee synovitis, NSAIDS and analgesic cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Based on the information it might be knee synovitis. In this condition there is collection of fluid in the knee joint and it causes pain.
I would have suggested you to Ice fomentation and Rest. Tablet Brufen 400 mg twice daily. Analgesic gel application. I hope these steps will take care of knee problem. But if not then you may need to contact your orthopaediian for examination and confirmation of the diagnosis.
I hope this helps

Still had to go to doctor yesterday before taking any NSAIDS due to past trouble with IBS and stomach ulcers which certain ones would aggravate my IBS
My doctor took a few x rays, examined the muscles around the leg, and took blood as well.
He found that it was Toxic Synovitis due exercising to much causing a slightly lowered immune system combined with slight tear of the Lateral Meniscus.
In conclusion, I really do appreciate the accurate answer you gave me which let me help guide my doctor to a more specific answer.
