Suggest Remedy For Tenderness On Knee Post Injury

I fell directly onto both kneecaps about six weeks ago. There was initial bruising and swelling that eventually subsided. Six weeks later, it doesn t hurt to bear weight on it and range of motion is fine, but my right knee is still very tender to the touch. Suggestions on what might be going on?

Brief Answer:
Require an MRI scan for suspected ligament injury and bed rest.

Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.

I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.

Based on what you said and your prolonged pain after fall, I suspect a ligament injury of your right knee. You should reach out to orthopaedic surgeon nearby and get an MRI scan to detect the cause of injury which is likely to be a ligament injury.

You may take tab. naproxen 20mg once a day for your pain. Best rest and decreased movement of your affected knee can improve you condition and usually require 3-6 months for recovery of partial injury to ligament.

Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.


Regards!
Dr. Ali Raza
