Suggest Treatment For Stabbing Pain At The Back Of My Knee

Can be muscle spasm or osteoarthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A sudden stabbing pain at the back of the knee can be due to a muscle spasm, an injury or due to osteoarthritic changes in the knee.
Right now you can start taking Tablet Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.
Knee brace can also be used for an earlier and prolonged relief.
I also encourage you to consult an orthopedician for physical examination. A few blood tests, X-rays of the knee, CT / MRI scans of the knee will help us diagnose the condition and help us in choosing the best approach of treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I'll be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
