needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

There may be a ligament or meniscal injury to the left inside of knee joint.

You would probably need a MRI of the knee joint to look for the same. For this, you need to consult an Orthopedic knee surgeon.

Regarding the place, you can go to Medanta- Medicity. It would have all required facilities.

Get well soon.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
