My knee makes a clicking sound when I walk and I can't squat or sit cross-legged without really bad pain. What could be causing this and what treatments or meds might help? Should I consider surgery if it doesn't get better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Knee clicking and pain when squatting or sitting cross-legged could be due to several issues, including meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, or patellofemoral syndrome. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain relievers, or, in some cases, surgery. If pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or instability, it's crucial to consult with a doctor or orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment

View allI've been having a lot of back pain lately, and sometimes it spreads to my hip. I cant sit for more than 15 minutes or walk for more than 30 minutes without the pain kicking in. This all started just 25 days ago, and I can't help but worry about how long itll take for me to get better. Plus, I'm concerned about how this might affect a future pregnancy. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on and what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or a posture-related issue, which is common but can cause discomfort. Since it's been ongoing for 25 days, I recommend seeing a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. With proper treatment, this shouldn't affect your pregnancy, but early intervention is key to a quicker recovery.

I have L5 disc degeneration and my doctor recommended surgery, but I'm trying to avoid it for now. I've done 10 physiotherapy sessions with no relief yet. Do you think Ayurveda, homeopathy, or acupuncture could help manage the pain and improve my condition? I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first.
