How Can Pain Under The Knee Be Treated?

I have been having pain under my knee on the inside of my right leg since before June 2018. So far I have been giving a shot in the side of my knee for arthritis and most recently a shot for bursitis under and in front of my knee (two weeks ago tomorrow). Tomorrow I go back to the orthopedics to tell them that I had relieve for about 5 days but now I m in considerable pain again. Any suggestions on what I can ask?

Hello,

The symptoms are more likely suggestive of conditions like ligament or tendon involvement.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can also try ice compression also.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

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

Hello,

Most probably it could be due to arthritis. Consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan to assess the severity of the disease.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

Take care
