Please consult an Orthopaedic Surgeon for a detailed clinical examination. Weight-bearing X-rays (AP, lateral, and skyline view) should be obtained initially. If the X-rays do not explain the symptoms or if significant swelling persists, an MRI of the knee may be required to evaluate the menisci, ligaments, cartilage, and other soft tissues. If you would like a detailed assessment and personalized treatment plan, you can also book an online consultation with me.

Until evaluated, avoid squatting, sitting cross-legged, and climbing stairs repeatedly. Apply ice for 15–20 minutes, 3–4 times daily if swelling is present. Since you are already taking Throx 75 (Ecosprin), avoid taking additional painkillers without your doctor’s advice, as some NSAIDs may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and can interfere with your medication. If the knee becomes very swollen, locks, gives way, or you develop fever with redness and warmth around the joint, seek urgent medical attention.

Apply ice. Avoid bending more than 90 degrees till diagnosis is made. Consult ortho and get an mri done
