Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain When I Straighten It

My right knee pops when I straighten it. It is also painful at different intervals during the day. It is not painful all the times. Yesterday I was standing in the kitchen and all of a sudden my knee felt like it was out of placement. I had trouble walking. Very painful and the pain eased up and came back later during the day.

Hello,

It looks from your details that you are having frequent giving away feeling at your knee with pain. Such type of problem arises when there is either arthritis of knee or ligament tear. In your case, I shall advice you to consult to your orthopedic doctor, he may prescribe you a MRI after clinical examination. Till then you should wear a knee cap to prevent frequent injury to your knee.For relief from pain you may have ibuprofen, aspirin or advil.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
