Suggest Remedy For Knee Pain
Hi, I m a 33 year old female with genu varum in both knees. The left side is not as bad, I think because I ve had an ACL reconstruction a few years back. The problem is, I ve started having mild pain on the medial side of my right knee, with pain iradiating to the posterior lateral side of the knee (which feels like pulling), and sometimes mild pain to my hip. Am I suffering from mild arthritis, and will I eventually need a total knee arthroplasty?

Hello,
Person with genu varum or genu valgus are more prone for early arthritis changes. Even after this fact, it is also true that knee replacement should not be performed in young age until unless it is very essential. So at present it is better to concentrate towards building strengthening of your muscles around knee and taking mild analgesic in case of severe need. You should do some specific exercises about which you can get information online.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
