My left knee is swollen and every time I move it the knee feels like a tendon is snapping across the top. It snaps and hurts a lot. It has always been weak and pop here and there but lately it is much worse. It hurts so much and it feels stiff and like the tendon is scraping across or something. The other knee about the same but not painful.
Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. And MRI may miss meniscus tear, diagnostic arthroscopy can help and cure the problem. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG Andrews. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair, and same day you can go home. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
