A member asked:

Knee pain from high school football creeping up on me. is there any quick fix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No quick fix. There is a long term treatment. You should do quadriceps strengthening exercise from know on. Your symptoms can be treated with Tylenol, (acetaminophen) medial wedge insoles, Aleve, Advil, injections or if these are ineffective Rx nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medications.
