I had a leg (knee) injury around 30 years back. It was declared as Traumatic effusions on (L) knee and ligament cracks. Initially I was administered with Allopathy treatments and fluid from the knee was removed in an OT. Laterally the knee was swelling regularly and the fluid was accumulating there by I went for Ayurvedic treatment. For the past 3 years I am having severe pain on the knee and grinding effect while walking/ climbing stair case etc.
