Suggest Treatment For Painful Kneecap

Get xray done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
For your exact diagnose to be made, get xray of both knees standing in AP view done and send me the report. I want to see the present condition of your joint.
Also upload the picture of discolored area, it usually occurs due to side effect of cortisone shot.The indentation which has formed after steroid injections can take upto 6 months to heal and fill in when collages in formed but sometimes it may take longer or less depending on the depth of the indentation and the response of the skin. If it persist then you can get collagen filling and laser resurfacing done.
Till then you should try to avoid squatting and upstairs as as much as you can.
Take aceclofenac +serratiopeptiase, joint pain relief crime by prescription of your local doctor.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
