Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

Yes, thank you. I ve had terrible pain within, around and in the back of my knee since Memorial Day 2013. The pain wakes me up at night and heaven forbid if I torn and my knee is relaxed that s horrific pain, when I first injured my knee I had worn a knee brace which seemed to help however nothing seems to help now. I can not bend down at the knees nor can I kneel on my knees. This is at a point that I can not tolerate or fix. My knee had gotten swollen when I first injured it but that eventually subsided. What could it possibly be? This past weekend I had a body massage and the therapist was cautious around my knee, there were many times where I could feel warmth in my foot and tingling along with a relief of pressure. Please explain or give me some direction. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you had knee injury.
It seems to me soft tissue injury . But X-ray should be done to exclude fracture.
Whether you have fever ? if fever is not there then,no need to worry.These injuries are slow to heal , may took 2-3 weeks time to heal.
Its treatment assuming soft tissue injury is rest to part. Putting ice is OK .
Quadriceps exercises and mobilization exercises of knee will help in regaining movements of knee.
Analgesic ( ibuprofen) will be helpful in pain relief , if pain relief not there by it then strong analgesic such as tramadol can be taken.
You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing.
Eat fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
MRI of knee joint will be of use to study injury in detail and better management.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
