What is the treatment for runner's knee?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from runner's knee. I am wondering about taking a break from training. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are suffering from runner's knee for which you should get investigated with knee joint digital X-ray. Take rest. Avoid actions that aggravate pain like running, prolonged standing, and sitting. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen can be taken for pain and inflammation relief. Ice can be applied to get relieved from pain. A Physiotherapist can guide you with stretching exercise. I suggest you consult an Orthopedic surgeon for an examination.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
