Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

I hurt my left knee on July 7th , 2011. Doc advised me to for therapy and Naproxelan. I have less pain in that knee. But my left knee started bothering me. I can hear grinding noise which is more than the left knee and also I feel my left leg is shorter than my right leg and yesterday I felt pain in my right knee and I feel like all my joints are making noise when I am moving them. I am feeling very uneasy. It has been 3 months the pain is going and coming back in the left knee. My doc said OA but what are the other problems and how it can be cured? I am 45 , 5.2 and 124 lb

Hi,

The most common cause in your age group is osteoarthritis. However, it could be due to rheumatoid arthritis, increased uric acid or deficiency of vitamin D. Get your X-ray done. Apply a knee cap, take physiotherapy and over the counter painkillers if required.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
