Suggest Remedy For Sharp Pain In The Knees

My knee has been bothering me for a while. It gets sharp pains at times, but there s constantly a dull and achy pain. It s mainly in the front, but it hurts all around my knee and down the length of my calf also. It hurts more when I go down the stairs and doesn t hurt going up them. I haven t had a recent injury. Sometimes it gets swollen and it s warm to the touch/inflamed. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Hello,

It may be due to inflammatory arthritis or septic arthritis. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get an X-ray of knee joint, use aspiration of joint contents in case of effusion and need analysis. Use cold and warm compressions, use tablet Naproxen 250 mg for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
