I am 30 years old. I had problem in my left leg from past 10 years and have consulted different orthopaedic surgeons but was not diagnosed properly. This year I have done my knee mri. Mri shows lateral subluxation of patella and grade ii chondromalacia and faint short grade ii tear is seen in posterior horn of medial meniscus in my left knee. Also there is rubbing voice of bones coming from my left knee. Also my xray reveals early osteoarthritis changes are seen on both sides in form of minimal tibial spiking with mild reduction of joint spaces along medial compartment. My question to you is (1) what is the treatment for my patella subluxation and grade ii tear (2) what is the the treatment for my osteoarthritis (3) can I reverse my arthritis thing (4) how did this patella subluxation happen to me.

If you have leg pain then you have to rule out the causes for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain. Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness have developed due to weakness of the ligaments & inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.
