Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had knee pain for the past week but not much pain. Yesterday I went to the gym, and something triggered the pain under my knee. Since then under my right knee, I get a pinching pain now and then. If I rub, there is pain in a particular spot. Would a brace or anti-inflammatory help? My main concern is the cartilage, as my dad has a problem with inflammation. I would like to know what is the best action to take.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Pain may be due to the sudden lifting of heavyweight, which resulted in compression and tissue swelling. If the duration of injury is within two days, then apply ice, and from the third day, go for physiotherapy treatment like ultrasound therapy on the back of the knee. Do not worry much about the pain, and just keep strengthening your front and back thigh muscles like the hamstrings. This will help with the knee pain.
