I have constant pain in my right knee. I can walk but cannot run. What could be the reason?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Constant knee pain with difficulty running may be due to ligament strain, cartilage wear, or early joint degeneration. Overuse, injury, or muscle weakness can also contribute to this problem. Avoid high-impact activities and allow proper rest to prevent worsening. Consult an orthopaedic doctor for proper evaluation and suitable management.
I have knee joint pain and I am unable to fully bend or straighten my left leg. What could be the cause?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Difficulty bending or straightening the knee with pain may be due to ligament injury, cartilage damage, or joint inflammation. It can also occur in conditions such as arthritis or after a previous injury. Avoid forcing movement, as it may worsen the condition. Consult a doctor for proper evaluation and suitable management.
I have pain in both knees and my tibia is dilating. What does this mean and what treatment is needed?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Pain in both knees, along with tibial widening or dilating, may occur due to bone stress, arthritis, vitamin D deficiency, calcium imbalance, old injury, abnormal bone growth, or pressure changes around the knee joint. In some people, the upper part of the tibia near the knee can appear enlarged due to chronic wear and tear or changes in bone structure over time. The pain may become worse while walking, climbing stairs, standing for long periods, or bending the knees. Treatment depends on the actual cause seen on examination and imaging tests. Doctors may recommend X-rays, vitamin D and calcium testing, or scans if the bone shape is changing noticeably. Management often includes weight control, physiotherapy, muscle-strengthening exercises, supportive knee braces, and medicines to reduce pain and inflammation. If there is severe joint damage, deformity, or difficulty walking, orthopaedic procedures may sometimes be considered. Persistent swelling, increasing deformity, fever, or sudden inability to bear weight should be checked carefully.
I have knee joint pain and bone pain throughout my body. What could be the cause, and which treatment is suitable?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Knee and body bone pain may be due to vitamin deficiency, joint inflammation, overuse, or age-related changes. Adequate rest, gentle exercise, and a balanced diet can help improve joint and bone health. Avoid excessive joint strain and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Consult a doctor to identify the cause and recommend suitable treatment.
