What Causes Sharp Pain In The Inner Knee?

I have pain behind and to the left of center of my left knee. This pain is very sharp in nature and very painful. It sometimes radiates around the back of my knee. I can t sleep at night for the pain. Sitting and lying down are worse than standing or walking. Any suggestions? The PA that I saw thought it might be a pulled hamstring but this has gone on for a month now with no relief except through pain pills. I must take Meloxicam 15 mg to receive relief but it only lasts for 2 - 3 hours.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of knee osteoarthritis.

Cartigen contains cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate and glucosamine sulphate, so you can take any one of them..

If required MRI of joint 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.
