Medial knee pain can only be recovered by treating the cause. Common causes include medial collateral ligament injuries, osteoarthritis and medial meniscus injuries. Treatment includes rest and braking, immobilization, medication and surgery.
1. Medial collateral ligament injury: It is recommended to fix the medial collateral ligament with a brace or surgically repair the medial collateral ligament in order to reduce the pain.
2. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint: This kind of disease usually causes the cartilage of the knee joint to be damaged, resulting in narrowing of the medial gap and pain. At this time, the affected limb should be braked, and local physical therapy and medication such as oral indomethacin and rofecoxib should be used.
3. Knee medial meniscus injury: mild meniscus injury can be relieved by rest and taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, while severe cases require minimally invasive joint surgery, arthroscopic meniscus suture or meniscus plasty surgery before pain can be relieved.
There may also be other causes of medial knee pain, such as trauma, tumors and fractures, etc. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to identify the cause of the disease and then treat it under the guidance of the doctor. The above medications should be taken according to the doctor’s instructions.
