Orthopedic surgeon: This suggests internal derangement of the knee and an orthopedic surgeon is best qualified to evaluate,advise you and treat you. A torn cartilage is suspected and an mri May be needed for diagnosis. Cold applications help reduce pain and swelling. Hot moist applications sooth chronic stiffness and discomfort.
