Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

Hi, I m 64, female, fairly active, do a lot of walking. In December I started light jogging. My right knee is bothering me. But I can still jog. I bought a knee bandage and it seems to help. I jog on dirt covered with granite gravel, so I m not jogging on cement. Anything else I can do to help???

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your mom have symptoms of severe abdominal pain and constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Traumatic injury to knee, Arthritis, Bursitis,Gout, Pseudogout,Rheumatoid Arthritis, Baker's cyst . I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray, MRI Scan, blood tests. Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatry painkillers like Ibuprofen for pain relief and topical application of analgesic ointment like Voveran. Doctor may also recommend surgery in severe joint damage or for repair of ligament .
