Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i fell in a flight deck aboard a ship eight months ago. the doctor stitch my left knee in which i felt pretty bad and my left elbow took part of the fall. i m having pain in my knee when i walk to much and somekind of cramps that im feeling in both sides of my knee that makes me like lose balance. my left elbow i feel like losing strength. what kind of procedure do i have to take that could tell me if there is something worse besides x rays? i have fear of losing my job and most of the time i just take the pain.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you may have injured your knee and elbow. If you want a proper investigations then you should get MRI of the elbow and knee joint. This will give us idea if there is any ligament injury in the joint. Most of the time ligament injury heals with rest and bracing but if it severe grade 3 ligament injury then you might need surgery also. So I would suggest you to meet doctor as soon as possible and do need ful. i hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
