Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my knees hurt when I climb stairs. At first, it was just my left knee, but now my right knee also hurts. Even getting into a car and stepping on the (stairs) is affected, and I dare not use my knee strength for fear of falling and further straining it. Bending and flexing my knees is also extremely painful. How are you? What are the symptoms of bursitis in the knee? What kind of help do you need? What are the symptoms of bursitis in the knee?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is more likely that the possibility of knee synovitis is higher. It may be accompanied by degenerative changes in the knee joint, such as cartilage wear, which can lead to these symptoms. The current symptoms are those of synovitis, typically pain, especially when climbing or descending stairs. In this situation, it is important to rest, apply cold compresses, avoid weight-bearing and strenuous exercise. Physical therapy, acupuncture, and other treatments can be implemented if necessary.
