A member asked:
Despite drain,shot, meds and ice knee still not back to normal at 6 weeks. usually back to normal in 3 days. tear as md suggested? pa caused it?

Tear possible: FirstA211, If your knee pain has not responded to draining, injection, medications and icing for a 6 week period, it is possible that there is some internal injury such as a meniscal tear. I would definitely follow up with your medical provider for further evaluation and consideration of imaging such as MRI.
