Swollen knee with moderate pain
I am suffering from swelling and slight pain in my Rt. knee joint. Happened one month ago, when my knee got a sudden 'jerk' while walking. MRI says
1. Degenerative tear posterior horn medial meniscus
2. moderate joint effusion
Took Diclofenac/ Paracetamol tabs for 2 weeks. Not much effect and still I can't bent my Rt. Knee.I am diabetic since 28 years. My age is 61. Is there a cure for this, preferably without surgery. Is there good Homeopathy treatment available. Please suggest alopathy also
