Irregular knee pain
My mother is having Palindromic Rheumatism for 11 years and taking regular medicine. Since last 6 months her right knee side gets frequent pain in movement lasting for a day to few hours.
Orthopedic doctor advised her collagel syrup, physiotherapy and Rejoint tablet. No improvement in 3 months
We showed to Dr Dharmanand, rheumatologist who confirmed that it's orthopedic problem requiring Ortho treatment.
Dr recommended meniscus root repair through arthroscopy.
Would like to take your advise and if surgery required take appointment. Also want to understand recovery period for surgery and whether it would involve using Walker.
