Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have knee pain in my right knee a little in the front lower section and then a lot in the back left bottom corner. I had stepped off a step in the dark and hurt it but not that bad. I golfed the next two days and then over the past 4 weeks its gotten better then worse then better and worse
Need of a musculoskeletal assessment with special tests for the knee is recommended.
Also, as mentioned by you, the pain region, it appears you may have sprained the ligament in the knee joint, mostly there are few to get sprain are the Anterior cruciate ligament , menisus and medical collateral ligament.
To find out which ligament has got sprain an orthopedic special test can be performed and checked out. Also, an MRI will help understand the extent of ligament injury, as in MRI the ligament are visualized.
Also, treatment will be planned accordingly.
The treatment includes - rest, medication for pain and physical therapy for pain, strength and mobility.
Based on my personal experience if the spain the recovery is 99%.
