Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Knee Movement With Muscle Strain

I was treated by a physician for muscle strain in my leg/ knee area. It has been 2 months and even though it is improving, I am still not able to kneel or have complete mobility as far as bending and twisting around my left knee. I am waiting to talk to an orthopedist and physical therapist. I continue to wrap my knee during the day and ice and elevate it in the evening. When my injury first occurred I was unable to stand and put pressure on my left leg.Any advice in the meantime?

hi,

it is good that you mentioned a brief history and your further plans.

add on to your plans is to take an MRI of knee as by your history it looks like there might be some soft tissue Injury within the joint as you are not able to bend or.twist the knee joint.

even with the soft tissue injury 90% of my patients gets helped by a physical therapist. using a hot water fermentation will be of advice for time being. as to relax the muscle and Improve the blood supply to the tisses in and around the knee joint for healing.

icing will also help to reduce pain. also to mention that you can keep the leg elevated over a pillow and do some slow static quadriceps and static hamstring exercises by which the muscles will become a little stronger to provide support to the knee joint.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
