Question : I have had a nerve twinge? in my left knee for about 3 weeks and is driving me crazy!!

Twinges last for about 20 seconds but are repetitive every minute or so. Twinge 1,2,3,4,5,6, to 7 and then nothing, then start all over again

Brief Answer:
Get Xray done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Get xray of both knee joints done in AP View and send me the report.

I want to see the present condition of your joint.

Avoid squatting and upstairs as much as you can.

Till then have tab. aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside twice a day and tab. pregabalin+methylcobalamine at night.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.
