Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

Severe knee pain. Front of the knee and to the right. Was in the backyard when I heard a pop and immediate pain after. Went to a Dr. got an X-ray that didn t show anything. Was told to stay off it for a week, no work. Did that. Went back to work this s morning. Very painful day. As long as I am off it it doesn t hurt. As soon as I am on it for any length of time the pain gets to be unbearable. Barely made it through today. It is ok now that I am off it again

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee.
Most commonly meniscus injury occurs.
And MRI may miss meniscus tear,diagnostic arthroscopy can help and cure the problem.

As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .

Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG andTENS.
Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
