Suggest Treatment For Radiating Knee Stiffens With Pain

I have knee problems with osteo arithitus. This has now progressed to my other knee but with different symptoms. Early morning alls ok. After about 5 hours my knee stiffens with pain when I move right to left. X-rays show just normal wear and tear but could this be due to a fragment of cartridge moving in the knee that the X-ray hasn t detected?.

Hello
I appreciate your concern
This could be due to osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis or ligament injury

To help you better I would like further information like
Is there pain in any other associated joint
degree of morning stiffness
Any aggravating or relieving factor if you could identify any

In my opinion you should consult a orthopaedic doctor for examination and an MRI of the knee

meanwhile you can take pain killers like ibuprofen or diclofenac
Physiotherapy will definitely help you

Waiting for your reply
wish you good health
