Suggest Treatment For Pain In Knee Post Injury

Hi. I ve been dealing with an injured right knee since April. Both my knees were previously injured(miniscus tears),and now it feels like my left thigh muscle is twisted and hurts whether I stretch it out,or when I m sitting with my leg bent and put my foot down,I m getting pain from the knee the whole way up my thigh. Is this from overusing the left leg to compensate for the right one and will it get better?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, knee is very fragile joint and demands the great care if this is the meniscus damaged then it can not be healed neither repaired in your case surgery is the best option, till then you can have the physiotherapy to learn the proper gait, (Gait training ) hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
