Blood circulation in knee
Hi my mother has discomfort and pain in left knee.
Attached X Ray results and blood tests. Only values out of range were in CBC, iron serum 29, TIBC 228, vit D 47.8, calcium 9.2. initial ortho visit doctor suggested medicines folitrax 2.5, folvite 5 and medrol 4 along with pain spray to manage. Started physiotherapy last week. She says mother's left knee has low blood circulation. There is some swelling but it isnt painful. Do i need to consult ortho/vascular doctor for this or it can be managed by exercise and diet change?
