[|Human|] I have been having knee issues for the past 2 months. I have gotten it checked by a doctor who said it was just tender after only doing a physical examination, and did everything they said I should but it has only gotten worse. I find it hard to walk up stairs, walk without frequent stops to rest my leg, and to do anything really. I am worried as it has been nonstop pain for almost 2 months.
[|AI|]  Hi, I am sorry for the current health issues you are going through. Having knee pain might be due to arthritis or after having a history of trauma locally. As the pain is going on for 2 months, then, I advise discussing it further with orthopedist about running X-ray of knee to evaluate any possible damage. For the moment, I can advise to:- take oral painkillers- apply analgesic cream locally-take fish oil and multivitamin supplementation- try to put your knee at rest, avoid walking or standing up for long periods-apply warm compresses (some of my patients have found relief by applying warmed coarse salt wrapped with a clothing locally)- physiotherapy can also be of greater help. Discuss it further with your orthopedist! Wish fast recovery! Chat Doctor.
