What Relieves The Discomfort In The Knee Due To A Hard Lump?
My husband has been c/o pain and discomfort on his right knee, he has a hard ball or lump on the side of it, it s very sensitive. He dislocated that knee 3 years ago in a football incident, he didn t see a doctor to put it back in place and never has. Now the pain is frequent and getting worse. I would like to give him ibuprofen but because he has ulcerative colitis I can t just give him anything with aspirin, please help.

Hi
He should consult an Orthopaedic surgeon for proper management.
X ray of that area has to be taken.
If it is inconclusive, MRI has to be taken.
Please do not give Ibuprofen for prolonged period.
Hope I answered your query.
If you come back with investigation reports, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
