Post traumatic pain
I fell from two wheeler almost 3 years back I got left knee injured , no fracture but swelling and pain were thr for almost 2 months , took treatment , done physiotherapy at tht time swelling and pain reduced but sometimes it used to reccure I m a teacher so I thought may b because of continued standing for long hrs I m getting it , after tht my ankle got twisted while getting down from stairs again the same leg , the ankle also after treatment was ok . But the pain again came back in knee also . Did some treatment physiotherapy but not much use, finally I started avoiding stairs, walking, bending down, sitting down and some how managing my work,one more thing I have varicose veins also in the same leg . Dr suggest me to stop standing for long hrs but my question is whether should I stop  climbing stairs also as it causes increased swelling and pain ?? Or is there any way by which I can continue climbing and can treat this swelling and pain? ?

Greetings,  sorry about the pain.  you have spoken at length about your concerns but didn't elaborate on treatment criteria followed with physiotherapy. Your problem is more of lack of strength in muscles and nothing else.  Once you get your strength back you can run stairs or jump and do whatever you want. Swelling and pain will be taken care by balanced diet and structured physio program. See a dietitian to get your uric acid sorted.
Next Steps
hire a physio as your personal trainer and get yourself trigger point therapy and exercise program for minimum 3-4 months 4 days a week and you should see results in 10 days and get to normalcy in 3 months. Long standing hours is something not to be worried, just follow exercise program for 3 months and thereafter make exercise as your habits then see the remarkable change in you for good.
Health Tips
if unable to get results or could not find physio to help let me know will assist.
