Suggest Treatment For Severe Soreness And Pain In The Knee

Hi I am a runner. I have little or no pain in my knee once warmed up and running. My knee is sorest when I move from sitting to standing especially getting out of the car or up from my desk. It hurts most when I use the other foot to remove my shoe by standing on the back of it and pulling my leg up. I have a consistent but not terrible pain in the back of my knee and around to the top of my shin. But I can still run a pretty casual 30km without it hurting while in action. I m wondering if there is any harm in continuing to run on this knee. Please say there is no harm.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe soreness and pain in the knee. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like damaged Menisci , tendinitis , osteoarthritis , gout , bursitis or chondromalacia . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like CT scan , MRI and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend surgery in severe damage or to repair the meniscus . For now apply warm compresses , take proper rest , do not massage and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . You can also apply anti inflammatory and analgesic cream like voletra .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
