Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I sprained my right knee two months ago. Although the sprain has healed, I am currently experiencing weakness and pain in the bone of my right knee when I stand or walk for extended periods. Additionally, I am dealing with stiffness in my right knee, making it feel less flexible than before.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Alka

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. You mentioned a sprain, but you did not mention whether it resulted from an injury or some other reason. I suggest you get an X-ray of your knee done to determine the exact condition of your knee. This will help identify any potential bone-related issues and guide appropriate treatment. I suggest you get a treatment based on the specific cause rather than a generalized approach. In general, treatments for a sprain may include massage, ice packs, painkillers, and possibly supplements. However, these treatments may only provide partial relief. If there is an underlying cause other than a sprain, relying solely on general treatment may hinder addressing the actual problem. I suggest you follow up with an X-ray of your knee for a more specific treatment approach. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Regarding follow up

I suggest you follow up after three weeks.

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