[|Human|] I have some numbness on the left side of my right knee. What could be causing this? I recently was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip and was given a cortisone shot there. I am also taking Celebrex and all this is helping the pain in my hip.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Numbness in the knee joint can be transient some time due to nerve compression in the nearby area due to sleeping in wrong posture. If it is persisting for more than a week than either it can be neuropathy or it can be due to nerve getting irritated due to injection. I would suggest you following.1. Tablet Pregabalin M one daily for ten days.2. Check for your blood sugar and serum B12 estimation.3. If it is increasing than you need to consult with your doctor.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
