Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Pain And Swelling In Knee

Dear doctor, I m a female, 54 years old. I got a pain in my right knee in November 2014 and I consulted western doctors. I was given only painkillers and I have taken steroids without my knowledge for 6 months. Now I dont take anything but went for acupuncture and herbal treatments. I had a relief while I was treatment, but now it has started agin. My knee is swollen and difficult to walk since it s so painful. Everybody is asking me to go for native treatment. I just got this website now I watched a vedio of Dr. Viraj Perera. I have no any idea of Homeopathy treatment. Please advice me if there ix a possibility for cure my problem. Thank you.

Hi dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurrent pain and swelling in knee . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Chondromalacia, Bursitis, gout , Arthritis, Osteochondritis, bakers cyst or infection . For now take proper rest , keep your leg elevated while laying down , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and lower your salt consumption. I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, CT Scan , blood tests and physical examination etc as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory painkillers, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy to relieve and strengthen the muscles,weight loss and doctor may also prescribe nerve supplement along with antibiotics in case of infection or surgical excision in case of cyst .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
