Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Kneecap

I m 59 yo, 6 0 , about 170 lbs. Played drumset for about 35 years. Was athletic in younger years. History of Cardiac bypass in 2001. Currently experiencing soreness and pain on inside portion of left kneecap. Discomfort is intermittent. Should I be concerned or chalk it up to simply ageing?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be suggestive of chronic degeneration of the knee joint. I recommend consulting with an orthopedist and performing an X ray of the joint. Performing a knee joint MRI may be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
