Hello all, 

I am 23 years old with knee issues. I am 9 days out from my wedding and am really concerned. When I was in junior high I had an accident and had to have an MRI done on the right knee. The doctor said that my knee is honeycombed shaped and one day I would have to get it cleaned out. Well 7-8 years later my knee swelled up and became very painful all around. I went to my primary who decided 800 mg ibuprofen three times a day, ice and no weight baring. With no luck I went to the ortho who then said he thinks I have severe tendinitis, my next appointment is May 7th exactly five days from my wedding. The swelling hasn’t went down and the pain is now centerlized to the middle on the right side of the knee. It feels like someone is stabbing me. I’m anxious they might want surgery but we have plans to go out of state till May 22nd. Has anyone had these issues. I have not had an update MRI yet. Just an X-ray.

    As your doc for some Voltaren Gel (RX in the US).  Excellent topical anti-inflammatory and painkiller.  Check for interactions with other meds you're taking.  I was a great help to me for bursitis, tendonitis, etc.  Also, look for some OTC Lidocaine patches.
