Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain And Swelling For Months
I have had this knee problem for several months and I have constant pain and swelling. I have seen 3 doctors and 3 exrays but nothing shows up in the xrays so I was told each time to take motrin, ibprofin, use ice packs , keep it elevated and the last time given naprosyn. Nothing is helpng the pain or swelling , so what can be done until I can afford to see a othopedic specialist because at the moment I do not have insurance.

hello
i studied your case with due diligence
you need some lab investigation CBC, ESR, CRP, RA Factor, URIC acid level mri scan of knee. These investigation would help in making a probable diagnosis. If these investigations results are inconclusive you would need diagnostic knee arthroscopy. Hope this suggestion would be sufficient for you.
