Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic knee pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Chondromalacia, Bursitis, Patellar Tendonitis, Arthritis, Osteochondritis, Ton Meniscus or sciatica . I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, CT Scan , blood tests, Electromyogram etc as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory painkillers, muscle relaxants, warm or cool compresses depending upon the cause, physiotherapy to relieve and strengthen the muscles,weight loss and doctor may also prescribe nerve supplement or surgery in severe case . For now take proper rest , keep your leg elevated while laying down , take ibuprofen or acetaminopehn for pain and lower your salt consumption.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
