Suggest Treatment For Left Knee Pain, Bruise On Lateral Calf And Stiffness

Hello. I am pretty much out of options so i figured posting here wouldn t hurt. About. 3 months ago my left knee started hurting. I was working two jobs so placing exact point of injury is difficult. At first my base of quads swelled up and there was pain in medial side of knee, along with popping when twisting knee to the left,(is left knee). Saw two orthopedic doctors. I have no insurance and they seem to be bothered by this. Anyway, first doctor said to go to gym and work my muscles. Only took an xray. My leg and knee still hurt so i got a second opinion, this doctor assumed meniscus tear and sent me for mri. Mri results showed mild/moderate edema in superior-lateral region of hoffas fat pad. Mild/moderate poorly defined increased T2 signal intensity involving superior-lateral region of hoffas fat pad. Small left knee joint effusion. And midly increased intracapsular synovial joint fluid. It states there is no definite evidence of intracapsular loose bodies. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, the Iliotibial band, biceps femouros tendon, popliteus tendon, infrapatellar ligament and visualized region pf quadriceps tendon are intact. All three compartments of left knee joint are well maintained. And there is no evidence of either medial or lateral menisci tears. When i returned to doctors to go over this he said the mri was normal. Sent me for ultrasound for blood clot check camr back negative. I wrote all this to give you the best understanding i could. Another week haf passed i had complained to doctor about the back of kbee and calf. I have been trying to work, i waitress. Within a five hour shift i am limping from pain. My veins from medial and posterior of knee joint down to my ankle have popped out and blood vessels havw broken. It has not gotten any better. I ice it every day and sleep with ice pack and ace bandagw. Along with hot Epsom salt baths. I have tried some quad streching just in case but it seems to cause more pain. Wheb i wake in the morning the stiffness is unbearable. Eventually after movement it turns into pain and includes popping which feels like ita from the center of my knee. The veins at the top of calf near back of knee are most prominent and i have a bruise on my lateral calf that has been there for three weeks with no fading. I now am feeling sharp pains in shin bone at patella tendon ending and even in the bottom of my foot. I am concerned not only because of pain but i can t work enough to pay Bills. I have gone down to 4 shifts a week with an extra day off in middle. And no help. On top of it when he had suspected a meniscus tear i was out for 14 days with brace. And still on last day went grocery shopping and could bearly bear standing for even that. I have forced myself through thw pain just to help pay bills. Do you have any suggestions with this type of situation. Trina
