Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Use hot fomentation to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus]

If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

If required MRI knee can be done and if there is destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.

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.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
