Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

I have interior knee pain right in the middle. I run and bike. This is strange but after a mile of running the pain goes away. When I stop it starts again. Ice and Ibuprofen helps but it is a constant pain when I walk every day. I have had a MRI , they say nothing is wrong. It hurts most of the time, really hurts when I push on it. It went away after one year of not running, but it has come back. I have had this for 3 years now. My knee does not hurt when I bike. Also my knees are not very flexible when streraching

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need local injection shot or knee arthroscopic shaving.

There is early osteoarthritis of your knee may be associated with osteoporosis.
You need to take cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate [glucosamine], that you need to take for couple of months.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises

Exercises will help to strengthen muscle and joint.
In lying flat supine on back – move your ankle up and down[plantar flexion dorsiflexion],keeping small towel below knee-press your patella[knee cap ] on towel and hold for 15 sec,lift your leg straight alternately [10-15 times].
Lying on your tummy- flex knee alternately, make knee rotation in flexion.
Sitting on chair- extend your legs alternately [hold in extension for 15 sec]
Standing half squat taking support of wall to back.

VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections can be given into the joint

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.
