M25.562 — 左膝疼痛

Ligament sprains, meniscus tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and osteoarthritis. The pain can be idiopathic. Sometimes, the pain might be due to the knee being sedentary for too long, and then it's suddenly moved.

Healthcare providers will likely conduct provocation tests to determine the possible cause, and then conduct diagnostic tests, specifically imaging studies, to determine the definitive underlying condition (if any).

It depends. If it's caused by problems that aren't severe, simply using ice packs, hot compresses, resting, taking pain medication, and following exercises conducted by physical therapists should help. For severe issues, surgery might be needed.
