Dear Doctor, while I was driving my scooter at night, had a fall from scooter due to a big pot hole filled with water, and fell on right side, was dragged a few metres, skin just below knee had deep abrasion, but appeared like no damage was done to bones. Even after 3 months, the wound on knee is not completely healed, shows swelling like mass of skin at the centre of wound below the knee. Also, I am not able to bend the leg fully , not able to squat (while going to Indian type toilet). but have no problem in walking or running. I have undergone physiotheraphy, I also got MRI scan done, which indicates thinning of anterior miniscus. Kindly advice me whether this can be cured by medicines or external application of oils
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your cancer. I think you have meniscus tear (anterior corn). We treat this problem initially with physical therapy and see if after that is not Ok we propose Arthroscopy surgery to trim the damaged part of the meniscus. I think since 3 months have past, and you are not better and can not fully bend the knee even with physical therapy, then you can start to think about surgery. Hope you get well soon
