Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a runner, and I have been facing knee pain in my left leg for the last two months. I consulted an orthopedician and got an MRI as well, but there is nothing abnormal. But, I still have pain. I am a diabetic and on medicine for that alone. I have attached the MRI reports for reference.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have a sprain or strain on your knee, which is also demonstrated by the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

(attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Please answer a few questions-

1. What did you take for pain relief?

2. Are you wearing a brace?

3. Did you do any physical therapy?

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

No, I am not taking any medicines as well as I am not doing any therapy. I do not wear any braces. Please advise about medication, therapy and braces.

Answered by Dr. Sadaf Mustafa

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take treatment with consent.

I suggest you to take-

1. Ibuprofen up to 400 mg three times a day with food for two weeks if your liver and kidney function tests are normal.

2. A knee brace to support your medial and lateral meniscus and wear it for four weeks, at least 12 hours a day.

3. Prefer exercises that do not have a high degree of impact on your knees. Please get physical therapy to strengthen your quads further.

4. Do not put too much pressure on your knees, and if possible, minimize the running duration or sessions by half for a month.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
