Hello,

Since you don't have any appointment slot now and time is moving on. I would recommend you to take up the physiotherapy sessions which might include the ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy.

Also, the inclusion of exercise for maintaining the ROM and joint stability will help improve the muscle strength and overall joint functions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

It can be a part of arthritis. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.
