Suggest Remedy For Pain And Stiffness In Left Knee
I ve always had aches and pains in my left knee, now a week on from doing a short distance run I cannot straighten my knee fully without intense pain. The pain is on the inside of my knee and hurts to weight gain. Standard pain killers are not working not is ice or heat! I get small relief from having my leg to the side rather than straight. This pain is now disturbing my sleep

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
