Knee pain post delivery
I'm suffering with severe knee pain after a few mos post my delivery and I was diagnosed dengue wen was 7 mos pregnant my platelet count was only 16000 however recovered,
not sure which doctor to consult, tried homeopathy medicine but of no help and my gynaecologist suggested me to take calcium tablets though I'm taking it regularly still the pain hasn't reduced. The pain is so bad tht I can't sit down nor can fold my legs for long, climbing steps is next to impossible for me and I'm only 27 yrs old now please suggest which doc should I be consulting.
