I have had two identical surgeries to fix my torn miniscus in my knee. It was medial. I went to Physical therapy for the first surgery, and I started to go for my second a few months ago, but it caused more pain, so I didn't go anymore. I heard about a baker's cyst which sounds like my symptoms. Should I go and see another doctor, or do you have any ideas about pain relief?

Baker's cyst is a localized pocket of swelling in the popliteal fossa which can be assymptomatic or symptomatic. In other words, it can be a source of pain or it may be an incidental finding. Since the surgery was only a couple months ago, you may still be having post-operative swelling which could conflict with the diagnosis of a baker's cyst. Presumably, when you had your surgery, it would've been addressed while they were in there if a cyst was present.

After having an arthroscopic meniscal debridement, we must remember that the mechanics of the joint are now altered. There is not as much congruency between joint surfaces as compared to a normal knee. So, incorperating exercises (while important for normal functioning) does have the potential to make the pain worse due to this alteration of mechanics. Follow up with your orthopedist as some other pain control measures may be needed including aggressive anti-inflammation for a short period of time (to break the cycle and allow to do PT without the inflammatory response) or possibly injections such as synvisc to increase the space between joint surfaces. You definetely need to follow up with the doctor who did the surgery…just because things aren't going exactly as well as you hoped, doesn't mean there isn't more he/she can do for you.

does anyone have a good pain killer over the counter for my aching knee, I had surgery a yr ago suddenly it hurts again, I twisted my knee and don't wanna go back to the dr. just want some pain relief until it gets well. and don't like to use drugs, I usually use natural things, herbs etc.

for knee pain, the best thing is an anti inflamatory. many take aleve as it is made from naperson. i don't care for it. i use anything with ibuprofin,like motrin. the key is to take it on a regular basis. about 600 mg every 4-6 hrs should help a lot. just make sure to take it on a full stomach as it can cause stomach problems is you don't.

thought I would. I have constant pain with interverals of sharp pains in the shin. I'm unable to be on my feet for more than 15 minutes at a time because of the pain. The orthopedic surgeron says I'll need knee replacement surgery some day but that I'm too young for it now. I'm 43. But I'm in constant pain. Feel like I'm losing out on life because I'm unable to do things I'd like to do. I also have MS but it's in remission.

Do you have osteoarthritis? It can sometimes take up to 3 weeks for those injections to work fully. You are not too young for a replacement. Yes, you are young and doctors try to put you off for as long as possible, but you are not too young. I am 26 and at the point where there are no other options for me except a TKR. Think of it this way… would you rather be happy and active and healthy and pain free now at this stage of your life or when you are 90 and old and slow anyhow? If I have to be in a wheelchair even when I am your age (no offense) I will be glad that the prime of my life was spent as painfree and as active as possible. I urge you to seek other opinions if the injections don't help. Also look into synvisc. (www.synvisc.com) for injections. Good luck. I feel your pain.
