Hello,
I have studied your case.
There is no role of medical therapy
You may need manipulation under anaesthesia or arthroscopic adhesion release.
You may consult physiotherapist for post operative rehabilitation
He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.
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
Regards
