Hi,

I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history knee pain has many reasons, so check these points:

1) Ruled out any injury to knee in the past

2) Check uric acid level to ruled out Gout

3) Do DC and ESR to ruled out any chronic infection present

4) Finally make an x-ray for osteoarthritis which is very common so knee joint can be repaired surgically so do what I told you. Follow me after 7 days.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
