He has had Doppler scans they were good he has had X-ray no brakes or fractures and he had MRI only said small joint effusion and mild condromilatia of the troclia (?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment is advised.

based on the symptoms you have. taking a physical therapy like - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help reduce pain and inflammation. Also, later stages exercises will help improve the strength.

After a thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment if the ortho feels he may recommend you to undergo MRI of knee to see further things.

Usually, in my clinical practice the recovery for such cases is 99%. I wish the same from you.
