What Could Random Recurring Pain In Knee Indicate?
Ever since I was little I have had this random knee pain. I don t think it s growing pains because I am 19 and my height has stayed the same for more than a year. I have had no previous injuries. I also don t think it s the weather change because it just randomly hurts throughout the year. I am double jointed.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring pain in knee indicate. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like ACL injury , torn meniscus , knee bursitis or patellar tendinitis . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to knee , take proper rest , do gentle massage for 10 mins daily and take ibuprofen or acetaminohen for oain . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , muscle relaxant along with physical therapy . In severe danage doctor may recommend surgery .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
