know-how-our-icliniq-doctor-helped-a-52-year-old-who-suffered-from-knee-pain

A 52-year-old patient who had injured and twisted her knee consulted our iCliniq doctor, complaining of severe pain. She also provided an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report and informed our doctor about her medical history of mild osteoarthritis.

Our iCliniq doctor reviewed the reports and carefully assessed her condition. After analyzing the reports, our doctor explained to the patient that the injury had affected her knee joint and caused a resultant accumulation of fluid. Further, our doctor explained how her age and hormonal changes could cause knee joint erosion and enquired whether she had reached menopause.

The patient confirmed that she was in her perimenopausal stage or near menopause. She further expressed her concerns about the fluid accumulation in the knee.

Our iCliniq doctor carefully explained how the injury had resulted in the accumulation of blood in her knee joint, causing her severe pain on movement. Our doctor then informed the patient that taking care of her bone, cartilage, and hormone status was crucial as she was nearing menopause. Furthermore, the doctor also advised a BMD (bone mineral density) test to check for risks of osteoporosis in the patient.

The patient agreed to take the BMD test and then enquired whether the fluid accumulation in the knee would resolve on its own or if any treatment was needed.

Our doctor informed the patient that it would heal on its own and further advised a few medications and supplements to help her with a quicker recovery. Our doctor also suggested a few calf muscle strengthening exercises.

The patient thanked our doctor wholeheartedly for being very kind and explaining everything in detail.

Our doctor wished the patient a speedy recovery.
