I had a repair done to these ligaments about 20 years ago (same knee, same time, same accident). Since then I've had the odd painfull episode which resolves itself in a couple of days, however for the past 3 weeks my knee ahs been agony- there's no swelling but a definate painfull area where the medial ligament runs (can actually feel it)and also a pain just below the knee cap, these pains are constant but much worse walking up an down hills - I do walk a lot and it's gettting to the pooint where i can not sleep at night- I do take paracetamol and brufen which ease the pain but don't get rid of it .
Has anybody suffered the same and what is the next step? Have mae GP appointment who I feel will probably refer me for physio or back to the orthopods , don't want a knee replacement- I'm only 38!!any ideas what I can do tio ease it/
