Hello doctor,

Kindly suggest some medications, and ointments for tendinopathy or tendinosis, along with physiotherapy to reduce the swelling in the knees and elbow joints. Blood test reports were negative for rheumatoid, autoimmune disease, and inflammatory markers, and the ESR is normal.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed the images (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), I can see some inflammation in your knee joint.

I am suggesting some medications, consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent:

1. Tablet Zerodol-SP (Aceclofenac, Serratiopeptidase, and Paracetamol) one tab twice a day for two weeks.

2. Capsule Pregabalin 50 mg, one cap at night for one month.

Please do a range of motion exercises for both joints and quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises for the knee joint.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please clarify if the medications apply to the elbows as well.
