Could Knee Pain Be Due To Exacerbation Of Runners Knee?
I have a history of runners knee. Three months ago, I fell into a hole and twisted that knee. It was hot and swollen and I could not bend it or weight bear pain free. After 2-3 weeks of rest, ice, etc, I went to my doctor to have it checked out. PCP thought I had torn the meniscus on top of the runners knee. Got a cortisone injection and it got worse for a day or two and then started to feel better until a couple of weeks ago. It is hurting again, cannot get comfortable, hurts to bend it and it wakes me up hurting in spite of giant amounts of anaprox/alleve. Could this just be exacerbation of my runners knee or something related to the injury?

Hi,
It could be related to your injury, you have to get your repeat MRI scan, if your maniscus is further damaged it needs to be removed by arthroscopic surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
