What causes pain in leg while turning aside after an injury to knee?
Patient: I m 37yrs old. I met with an accident 6 months before and hand 5 stitches beside my right knee The wound was deep but no bleeding was there. I still feel pain there.From last week I have pain in my thigh and feeling pain.in whole leg while turning aside during sleep. Pain.is also there while descending stairs n while sitting or standing. Can u.plz tell me the reason 4 that Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.As you had an injury which was treated with stitches there will be a load shifting leading to muscle imbalances. Performing exercises for the knee joint will be helpful.undergoing a proper clinical physical therapy assessment will help understand the muscle weakness involved and with guided exercise the pain will be avoided.on a longer run it is advised to undergo proper physical therapy rehabilitation of the knee to avoid future early degenerative changes in the knee.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
