Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I suffer from knee pain which has expanded to include my thigh, hip and lower back. Had arthoscopic surgery on the knee end of year. Has not improved. Had a laminectomy 4 years ago. Pain gets worse when standing or walking, made worse when weather is damp.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can try analgesics like Tramadol or Gabapentin which shows good results in chronic pain conditions. Also get an MRI scan done to check whether a revision surgery needed or not. We have to rule out conditions like sciatica as the pain radiates to thigh region. Better to consult a physician for expert opinion.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
