Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In The Knee

Hello I had a bad fall last week and have a deep abrasion on my knee that is slowly healing. The area below my knee- my leg tingles and is tender- especially when touched with pressure. The tenderness was felt at that the time that I fell and has not increased (nor significantly decreased) Is this normal with healing?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tenderness in the knee . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Chondromalacia, Bursitis, Patellar Tendonitis, Arthritis, Osteochondritis or Ton Menisci . 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, Electromyogram etc as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , recommend physical therapy which will be very helpful or surgery to repair meniscus . For now take proper rest , apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
