Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the intense pain with
stiffness and inability to move knee in particular directions indicate significant underlying problem of the anatomical disturbances.
* As the pain is involving medial side of the knee joint, possible problem with
- medial collateral ligament
- anterior cruciate ligament
- medial lemniscus are of major concerns
* Though primary relief with
analgesic and anti inflammatory medicines with aid of
physiotherapy, main goal is to diagnose the cause and mangae accordingly.
* After thorough clinical examination of knee maneuvers and range of mobility, I do recommend an
MRI of the knee joint for all the finer tissue details and guide accordingly to cure it.
If any of the reports are available with you, kindly share those with me during follow up discussion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
