UNITED STATES, Jul 25 — After conducting the necessary physical examination, especially on joints like your knees, hips and legs, your doctor will require a detailed enumeration of your medical history for a more accurate diagnosis. You will be asked questions about:
the first time you felt pain in your knee
whether you’ve had previous knee pain, and why
the length of time you’ve been experiencing pain
whether the pain is constant or intermittent
whether the pain affects one or both knees
the precise area where pain is felt - above, below, at the sides, or on the knee itself
the severity of the pain
whether the knee feels tender and battered
your ability to put weight on your knee or walk
any history of injury or accident involving the affected joint
whether the whole limb or just the knee has been used excessively
your normal day-to-day activities and exercise regimen
the home remedies you’ve used to treat the knee and whether they alleviated any of the symptoms
other signs like hip, leg or calf pain, and swelling of the knee and its surrounding areas
any incidence of fever
Your doctor may also order the following tests:
extraction of a fluid sample from your knee for analysis
knee x-rays
MRI scan of the knee to determine any tears in the ligaments or meniscus
To counter pain symptoms, your doctor may prescribe NSAIDs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are more potent than over-the-counter painkillers. For more severe symptoms, injectible steroids can be administered to cut down pain and inflammation. While minor injuries involving ligaments strains and tears will heal naturally with self-nurturing home care or the use of supportive apparatus, substantial tears and fissures, like a torn meniscus will require arthroscopic knee surgery

To counter pain symptoms, your doctor may prescribe NSAIDs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are more potent than over-the-counter painkillers. For more severe symptoms, injectible steroids can be administered to cut down pain and inflammation.
Other methods of treatment may involve sessions with a physical therapist for stretching and strengthening joint exercises, or visits to a podiatrist for orthotics fittings. These remedies can avert the re occurrence of arthritis symptoms.
When the disease has progressed to a stage where there is extensive bone and cartilage damage and severe pain and inflammation, surgery may be necessary to replace the affected joint. While minor injuries involving ligaments strains and tears will heal naturally with self-nurturing home care or the use of supportive apparatus, substantial tears and fissures, like a torn meniscus will require arthroscopic knee surgery.
Ligament and meniscus-related conditions result in slow and painstaking recovery, often involving the use of crutches and prolonged physical therapy.
