Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Left Knee

I have been battling hypothyroid discovered five years ago, but may have had longer. Recently, I twisted a knee and heard something pop, but basic xrays showed no fracture or broken bone or baker s cyst. More and More I have leg problems, spasms, toes and calves and even back area. Just now I had pain in base of left foot side area. Left knee is where I am feeling the unresolved problem. My right hip hurts often and sometimes have swelling in the shin area from the knee. Any idea? Appreciate your answering. My email is YYYY@YYYY .

Hi..

Your knee pain could be due to Bone on bone rubbing...Since you have no history of buckling..giving way I am not suspecting any stabilising structures issue...thou there could be grade 1 strain..
other symptoms what you describe could be due to your weight as well
If were your treating doctor...I would recommend you to...Do

Lot of icing for every 2 hours
keep your knee compressed with a compression bandage...
Manage your weight with healthy diet and exercises...
Do basic stretching and strengthening exercises...
exercises like Quad sets..ankle pumps to control swelling...
Hoping that your thyroid issue is under control..
I strongly suggest you to do physical exercises like walking...6days a week and swimming..whenever possible.

Hope this is useful for you..
kindly revert back incase you need any further help..
