Suggest Treatment For Pain In Knee Along With Difficulty Walking

Hi, I feel 3 weeks ago and fractured my tail bone. My knees have been hurting since then and seem to be getting worse - especially painful walking up and down stairs. However, they are not swollen or bruised - I fell backwards, not on my knees. Could the pain in my knees be at all related to my fracture?

Hello,

The pain in the knees seem to be related to the fracture. I suggest to use painkillers such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to use cold compresses for local application. The symptoms will relieve gradually.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
