Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

My wife is having pain in the back of her knee that is keeping her from being able to walk without severe pain. . .the only thing that helps make her mobile is flexeril but it makes her to sleepy to do her job. Metaxalone doesn t help at all. Any other suggestions to help her deal with this?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Most probably she will be having conditions like osteoarthritis or ligament related problems.

Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.

As of now, analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol can be tried for pain relief.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
