Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain After Recovering From Ankle Injury
I broke my ankle in June. Been out of cast for 2 weeks and in physical therapy for 2 weeks, 3 times a week. This morning I developed pain above my knee on the inside. It s not constant. It s not sharp. Could it be a pulled muscle? I use a walker to get around.
Your symptoms seem to be related to knee pain related to trauma. I suggest using painkillers for the piano such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day. I also suggest maintaining the area immobilized. Cool compresses may also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
