I'm dealing with a lingering pain in my left leg after lifting weights. The pain seems to radiate down to the middle dorsal side of my knee. I've been taking nervite and ultradase tablets, but the discomfort seems chronic now. What should I do next?

After weight lifting, you have developed chronic pain in your left leg, specifically on the middle dorsal side down to the knee. I recommend taking a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take a tablet of Aceclofenac 100mg along with Thiocolchicoside 4mg. This will help reduce the pain and inflammation in your leg. Additionally, I suggest applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the painful area. This will provide localized relief from the pain and discomfort. Make sure to rest your leg, elevate it when possible, and avoid any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while

The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.
