What does knee pain indicate despite taking Ibuprofen and wearing compression braces?
Patient: what could cause sudden onset of knee pain in a 15 yr old female who has never had problems ? Jusg started hurting first week of band camp back in June. Still hurting 2 months later. She is taking ibuprofen and wearing compression brace and still hurts. Doctor: Hi, I understand your concern. The female patient is young 15 years old. The knee pain could be due to knee trauma. Get her visited by an orthopedic specialist, get an x-ray of the knee done and possibly MRI if nothing is found. We should ensure there is nothing torn there. Hope this helps.
