RESPECTED DOCTOR, am suffering from infection of synovial fluid in the left leg knee joint. kindly advice me what i must do. My ESR value is 24mm/ hr, and my x- ray report of a/p and lateral view reads as follows.early osteoarthritic changes are seen to the patello-femoral and knee joints bilaterally.the supra patellar bursaal fat stripes appear partially obliterated suggesting effusion into that region. This is the radiologists report. i am unable to even bend my knee and have a slight swelling just above the knee cap. every night i swallow voveran SR 75 mg two tablets at a time before dinner, but i wake up due to severe pain thats unbearable. kindly help.

Hello,

It may be due to infection.

For further assessment you may require MRI or x ray knee after orthopedic surgeon consultation.

You may require aspiration and discharge culture after consultation.

You may require antibiotics after consultation.

Use support while walking.

For fever you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
