Had a mri on my (l) knee. ortho dr called said it was ok and still wants me see surgeon cause it locks up and hurts when walking. what treatments work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: Hard to know without more specific details. If indeed it is locking up and hurts, then there is concern of intra-articular injury (meniscus, etc) I would see the surgeon to see if the knee needs to be scoped, injected, etc
