What Can Be Done For Knee Injury With Bursitis And Fibromyalgia While On Vimovo/naproxen Daily And Pennsaid?

Hi: I had a knee injury earlier this year in July, After going to the doctor, she said I had bursitis of the knee, I had to take Vimovo / Naproxen daily and Pennsaid to take out the inflammation in the knee, as it swelled like a balloon all the way to my foot. Currently I on Ei as I was let go from the Steel Shop, and I wake up with feeling of pain and tenderness at the back of my knee. I also have Fibromyalgia, and was wondering if that condition is something that can keep me feeling that there is pain there, as Fibromyalgia is inflammation without any swelling. however I do still have clicking noises from time to time in the left knee that was injured. My doctor sent me back in July to a Medical Imaging Consultant, and they noted on paper about my left knee: Joint space and articular margin are well preserved. No erosion or osteophyte noted. No effusion seen. Thanks Sincerely: Dean

Hi there.
You seem to be suffering from injury to the ligaments around and in the knee.
Firstly get an MRI of the knee done and get it evaluated to diagnose these soft tissue injuries.
Secondly you might have a tendency towards arthritis of which fibromyalgia and knee pain are a part .
Get a complete arthritis panel done for that.
In the mean time stary tab nucoxia and pregalin for pain relief .
Good luck.
