There was knee effusion of my left knee on 14.01.2012 due to which my movement was restricted. My attending physician got my blood test done in respect of C-reactive protine which was 12 while max is 6; anti ccp was ( negative 0.9), DSDN was negative. My uric acid level was 6.2 and my Fasting suger was 105 (min 110). After taking anti inflamatory drugs, it was normalized. But again on 05.02.2012, there is a knee effusion of my left knee and my attending physician prescribed some anti inflamatory drugs e.g inflama forte. Kindly suggest what best medicine shall I take so that the same cannot recur in future. Thanks
Dear sir you did not mention your age, considering you as a young age male you have to check what is the reason of swelling in your knee. For this get an MRI scan done and aspirate whicChatDoctores out of the knee should be sent for the culture and other investigations like site specific PCR for tuberculosis. You may need the synovial biopsy to get the exact diagnosis. Considering you as an old age person you should get the X-rays done and check for the cause of your knee effusion, the most common cause in the old age is osteoarthritis of knee, for which treatment depends on the stage of osteoarthritis including physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory, intra-articular steroids and total knee replacement. Thanks and regards
