How Can Pain And Inflammation In The Knees Be Treated?
I ve had knee pain for 2 years now and I was told I had inflamed my meniscus and I think I may have made it worse because like 3 days ago my knee had locked up and it had so much pain going through my knee and it hurt to walk. And now my knee will make popping noises when I walk and now its throbbing

Hello,
Kindly get your x-ray knee done. Usually, MRI is better to know soft tissue injury. if there is tear in the meniscus of the knee ligaments like ACL or PCL then usually you will have that popping sensation.
If the tear is minor then it will heal on its own. If it is major then it needs to be fixed with surgery. For now, you can take some painkillers to reduce the pain such as Diclofenac, tramadol, pethidine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
