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.

I'm really confused about whether to go for ACL arthroscopic surgery or if PRP treatment would work better for my knee. How effective is PRP for knee issues and what's the average cost per injection in India? Need some advice on which option might be better for me.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is often considered as a non-surgical alternative for certain knee conditions. It's important to note that the effectiveness of PRP versus surgery depends on various factors, including the severity of the knee issue and individual patient characteristics PRP treatment for an ACL tear can vary in cost, but in India, expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ20,000 per session, with some clinics offering packages that include multiple sessions. The total cost will depend on the severity of the tear, the number of sessions needed, and the specific clinic
