Question 1

please explain what else can i do for knee pain relief?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormalities.

Question 2

l5-s1 microdiscectomy fri for left leg sciatic pain. calf/foot pain relief w/some thigh/behind knee pain. pain less am but sharp pain down left leg into foot w/pain level of 9.5 & hurts sitting/lying.

Accepted Answer

Call your surgeon: pain of that severity radiating into your leg after back surgery to take pressure off the nerve root is concerning and might indicate swelling or other problems at the surgical site.  Please get in touch with the operating surgeon right away.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

He needs to see Dr: Could have a torn cartilage or other internal derangement. Needs to be examined and treated correctly.

Question 4

could instaflex help against knee pain and joint relief?

Accepted Answer

See details: Most of the Intraflex products are just high priced vitamins and minerals with little value. The joint care product has glucosamine which may provide some benefit for osteoarthritis. Having the knee evaluated by an orthopedist or rheumatologist should be done being relying on questionable supplements.

Question 5

what are some good arthritis knee pain relief (for very extreme pain)?

Accepted Answer

Anti-inflammatories: The anti-inflammatories are the main-stay treatment for oa (osteoarthritis).  Ibuprofen tends to be very effective for flare ups - max dose 800mg tid. Beyond this pls see your doc or a rheumatologist.

Question 6

after having a lateral release & orthovisc injections with no relief from severe knee pain, popping, clicking, & catching, what's left to be done?

Accepted Answer

Conservative: At 17 years of age you don`t say what occurred to cause problems in your knee, but at your age I`m sure the Orthopedist will be as conservative as possible because you have many, many years ahead of you. Be patient and take your medications and physical therapy as faithfully as possible.

Question 7

i am having a lot of medial knee pain worse at night i also having a displacement of the meniscus i don't know how to find relief? clicking and lock?

Accepted Answer

Get it evaluated: Unfortunately what you are suffering from are called mechanical symptoms associated with the meniscus flap getting caught in the joint. There is poor blood supply to the meniscus therefore there is a low probability that it will heal on its own. Therefore i suggest an evaluation with an orthopedist to discuss possible options to treat the meniscus tear.

Question 8

are there some quick ways to get relief from severe knee pain?

Accepted Answer

Time to see doc..: Everyone experiences some aches and pains at some point in life, but if any pain that is adversely affecting your life, you should have it checked out. Tylenol/motrin/aleve may help your knee pain, but should find out the cause. Gout, sprain/strain, meniscal tear, arthritis, infection are few causes of knee pain they are managed differently. So, get it checkd out. Good luck to you.
