Osteoid osteoma
Greetings.
I had minor swelling in my knee for the last 3 years
Which fades away by taking naprosyn medicine for 3-4 days regularly, I had done x ray and then it was ruled out as fabella syndrome.i don't know it was the reason for swelling, the doctor said it can be the reason.
But I was not satisfied,so I did an MRI, which ruled out to be osteoid osteoma or chronic osteomyelitis.
The doctor said it is likely to be osteoid osteoma.
At present my knee swells when I use stairs and drive a car, so I took naprosyn medicine.
I want to avoid surgery
So please I request the respected doctors to give your valuable suggestions
Please check attachment.
Thank you
