Need Treatment For Knee Pain

My 19 year old son has been complaining that his knees hurt and his left knee in particular -- he does have flat feet, but I got very concerned when I touched his left knee and it felt very soft and loose -- I can actually move the top of his knee (cap) back and fourth. The other knee feels normal.

Hi,

I have read your query.

Your son should do quadriceps strengthening exercises as uploaded on youTube for about 10 days, if pain still occurs then you need orthopedic consultation. Your doctor then physically examine the knee and act accordingly. He may advise arthroscopic surgery for the same.

Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
