How Can Pain In The Knees Be Treated?

I have had pain in the outside of my right knee which goes away with ice packs, rest and elevation... At the moment I am pain free.. I also take ibuprofen to help if I m having a bad day... Should I continue to ice my knee even tho it s feeling ok right now? I m afraid it will return. Thank you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all you need to mention your age and duration of your symptoms. Age is important factor in diagnosing knee pathology. On and off knee pain can be attributed to inflammation within your knee. Have you sustained any recent trauma? If yes X-ray of right knee anteroposterior and lateral views is needed to rule out bony abnormalities. Meanwhile start tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area for detailed clinical Examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
