Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain
I hurt my knee in a basketball came a little over a week ago. The pain has gotten worse and i have tried to figure out what it is and whether to go to the doctor or not. It s around the medial meniscus area, i have done several tests on it and i get pain while doing these. So, do you think this is a torn meniscus or something like bursitis?

Hello,
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I will be glad to answer it for you
Yes, if it is severe pain, and not reduced by medications, then it can be meniscal tear
You need to meet an orthopedicean, get an x ray of the knee done and rulout the cause.
The treatment will be based on the x ray report and examination findings
Hope this helps
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
