Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 26-year-old male. I have knee pain for three months. I used to get the pain when I sit and stand up. The pain used to last for about two to three minutes. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for your query. Your knee pain could be due to certain reasons, but common ones are chondromalacia, pain due to knee instability, inflammation, etc. Can you kindly tell me when you have this knee pain, what was the cause of the onset of symptoms, and what investigations have you done for it? If there is no history of any injury, and no history of inflammation or an infection like swelling, skin redness, or local warmth on touching, then I will like to advise you for conservative management initially in the form of the following-
Intensive physical therapy with a focus on strengthening quadriceps and stretching of other groups of muscles.
Gentle anti-inflammatory medications like tablet Etoshine or tablet Paracetamol can be taken in small doses for five to seven days.
Take adequate Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation as per the requirement.
Ice packs at home three to four times a day.
And see how it goes for around two weeks' time.
If your condition does not improve, then we will have to get certain investigations done.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me further.
Thank you.
