Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

I already had 3 surgery s to my left knee and I am still in a lot of pain and I use a brace to help my knee and I walk with a Cain and some times with a walker. I can not sleep cause of the pain . what can I do to help me get better? I have sharp pain on in off on my knee .The pain It comes when ever it wants some times not so bad and other times I can not stand it. My leg gets so cooled some times and some times it gets so hot a burning feeling and lots of pain. Some times the pain feels like a stabbing and I lose control of my leg. The pains travels some times all over my leg and then my hip starts to hurt and my back goes out.The brace helps me not to fall when I lose feeling on my leg. I can not stand up to much but the worse is if I sit for a long time I have a hard time getting up.My Back goes out and I loose the feeling on my leg . I hope that I can find out what is wrong with me? Guilhermina

Hello,

I have studied your case.
This looks radiating pain due to nerve compression
Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this.
At old age there will be age related spondylitis but if there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
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.

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.
