Suggest Treatment For Stiffness And Tenderness In The Knee

Meniscal cartilage degenerative tear
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
You seem to have a degenerative tear of the meniscal cartilage in your knee. This happens due to Osteoarthritis during ageing.
I suggest you get an Xray and if possible am MRI of the knee done.
Avoid squatting, cross leg sitting, climbing stairs and kneeling. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Take Tablet Acetaminophen and Tramadol combination twice a day for 10 days for pain relief.
If the arthritis is severe you may need a knee replacement. Also joint injections with steroid and hyaluronic acid can help after doing key hole surgery to remove a torn cartilage.
Do get the Xray and MRI of possible and upload for my review.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu
