Is there any doctor in the house? Looks like I need an orthopaedic doctor / advice I have this pain in my knee I wanted to put this up some 3-4 years ago Prognosis: I first notice this pain in my knee early 40s. Only when I seated at one place for long which had no room to extend my leg such as Cinema house, Long distance travelling in a car, Plane etc When seated for about 2 hours or so, I had this pain and if I stood up for some time or walk, the pain disappeared. It would re-appear after another 2 hours in the sitting position. I thought this has something to do with blood circulation which blocks at 90 degree angle. First the pain occurred say after 2hrs after some years it occurred after one hour and now half an hour. Last one month or so, I have this new problem on the same leg (knee). While exerting force or weight on the leg, it give me severe pain in the joints (knee) And as such I have to make sure I use my other leg while boarding bus, stepping out of bus, car. Where as Steps-ladder is not for me now Diagnosis please! This is photo (X Ray) Only medical professional may view it Other please look away - My ‘zorlolim Haddam’ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextra4/8627706171/in/photostream Well, I did go to GMC and spent 3-4 hours (will write separately my experience, what I saw etc including a mother pushing her son’s trolley/stretcher etc) when times permits me. There involved 3 registration counters, Qs, long wait, 90% migrants OPD patients, ..by the time I got my X-Ray it was 1.30pm (Lunch time), Later, I saw a different doctor..eventually I gave up, was not too happy.. Now, I thinking of consulting an expert, recommendation welcome. One thing I do not like is injection into knee (needle-phobia?)
