How Can Severe Pain In The Knees Be Treated?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Yes, you need to visit the orthopedician. Better take an MRI of the knee and check for ligament tear. If present, arthroscopy can be done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Anusuya Ramesh
