I suspect my knee pain as calcium deficiency. Please advise.

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old. I have been feeling pain in my left knee when I sit on the ground. When I get up it takes two minutes for the left knee to get normal and function without pain. I got a massage, but that did not work. Instead, my back started hurting slightly after that. Please advise whether it is calcium deficiency or any other cause. At normal times, it does not hurt much. My height is 6 feet and 1 inch and my weight is 211 pounds.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

No, this is not a calcium deficiency. Probably, it is prepatellar bursitis. The symptoms of calcium deficiency will not be confined to one knee and it is unusual in young persons.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Do I need to get any medical prescription required or any test? Will a home remedy work for it?

Answered by Dr. Das Biswajit

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest the following. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicine with consent. Apply ice thrice daily on the left knee. Tablet Enzomac plus (combination of Trypsin, Bromelain, and Rutoside trihydrate) twice daily after food and tablet Cyra D (Domperidone and Rabeprazole) in the morning on an empty stomach for 10 days. Avoid kneeling on the ground for a few days. In the future, you can use a soft knee pad while kneeling on the ground.

Thank you.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Go to the emergency room immediately if you have fever with a hot, red, or swollen knee (possible joint infection), sustained an injury with obvious deformity or cannot bear any weight on the leg, or notice coldness, numbness, or color change in your foot below the knee. Do not wait for a scheduled appointment in these situations.

Always consult a doctor before taking medication; self-medication carries serious health risks. Take exact prescribed doses, and never start, change, or stop treatment without medical supervision.
