What Causes Pain In Knee Joints?
My wife, Age 30Yrs is having pain in her knee joint especially in the morning after getting up and whenever she walks after long time seating in one position.
When she takes pain killer, she feels relief. We consulted one Orhtopaedic surgeon, had an X-Ray and he said, nothing to worry & gave some pain killer and Calcium tables to be continue for 1 month...he added that if pain continues then MRI of the Knee joint is required.
Request your advice on what disease it can be.?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
According to your symptoms and findings there is early osteoarthritis of your knee.
. Continue medication prescribed to you.
You can start cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate, that you need to take for couple of months.
If required MRI knee can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
If you are satisfied with answer do not forget to give rating to this answer.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
