Suggest Treatment For Mensicus Tear In Knee

Hey, I fell and got a mensicus tear in my left knee. Since then im on crutches because of a ligament aswell.since that day I lost feeling in my left hands small finger and half of my ring finger and that part of the palm aswell. The feeling has changed to pins and needles to the point of pain, the doctor took a xray of my neck and said one of the vertabraes have a little swelling around it but it should go away quick and cant be that bad. It has been a while now and I am 17 so cant just go to another doctor and our medical aid is depleted. I have to drink zytomyl which is a antidepressent of 20 mg daily ,4 * 30mg ritalin(generic methylphentidate), purbac,topiramate which is like epilum used to control intense migrain I hardly have ever since. Any advice please just as prove maybe even for my mom, it went from funny to realy cant handle. Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of cervical nerve root there is pain in neck and upper back.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

MRI knee will help in knee meniscus injury severity .
arthroscopy repair will help you.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
