Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I experience lots of pain in the back of my knee and it gets worst as soon as I bend it. I had about 2 years with it but my MD. can t figure it out. Lately I even got some fluid out on the left side of my left knee. I bet everything is related. I got the fluid extracted and got an inyection, but I am back with even more pain behind my knee. What is it?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of osteoarthritis knee. Often called wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time. Osteoarthritis treatments can slow the progression of the disease, relieve pain and improve joint function. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for detailed examination. You may get the X-ray/MRI, some blood tests and joint fluid analysis under his/her guidance to reach the accurate diagnosis.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
