How Can Difficulty In Bending The Knee Due To Arthritis Be Treated?

Hi 52 male athletic, no knee pain but can’t bend my knee past 90 degrees without severe pain behind the knee resonating up my hamstring and down my calf. It’s been 2 years lots of physio but to no avale. MRI showed arthritis moderate to advanced, only in left knee, also diagnosed wth double kneecap/injury based, not conjenital. It’s becoming painfully obvious that this is not going away on its own. Your thoughts

Hi,

As a first line management, you can try analgesics and physiotherapy.

If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopedician and consider knee replacement.
