Hello,
Knee pain is common and can be a symptom of many different knee conditions or injuries. It is important to do a knee X-ray or ct scan to confirm the right diagnosis and take proper treatment. Meanwhile, I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
