General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to gonarthrosis. Some advice that I can give to you is:

-Use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.

-Use cool compresses for local relief.

-If you don't feel better steroid shots may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
