Is surgery needed for knee pain?
Patient: This is Negar Aryanpour from Iran,(31 years old, 170 cm, 60 kg).Following my x-ray alignment picture, the left foot has the degree 4.9 and D=433 and for the right foot degree 3.9 and D=430. I should mention that one of my knees has a little pain and after walking for a long time, and sense a pain on my right Pan. Let me know if the surgical correction is necessary now or not? is my age appropriate for doing surgery?  Please I'm wondering do the instrument placed in the knee get removed latter on? Or do the patience stay with it for life? Too deep for me...I want to know what if the edge of the bone left space? Or will the bone regenerate in that space  . Doctor: Hi,As per your history and age surgery is not the only option. Physiotherapy can help you out in releiving pain with machines (ift and tens) for pain control and graded exercises protocol for strengthening the muscles do visit any physiotherapy clinic they will help you out. Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Harsh Swarup
