• Knee pain
  Hi, I think I sprained my left knee. So, I got a knee support from the pharmacy to support recovery. As a self-diagnosis, I have no problems walking, the inner side ligaments seem to be healing better, but even after 8 weeks, the knee still feel sore. I can swim, but not really run and certainly not do any contact sports. It's probably best to finally see a general doctor. After seeing a general doctor, in case it is necessary, what could be the possible next steps to investigate what is wrong with the knee?

  • Hello,
    You are right, you have to see a doctor to prescrib general exams in a hospital like IRM, radio, ... to see what's going on because there is something but you need specific examens before.
    After, you can go to a kinesist to help you.
    Kinds regards

• General topics
  Who do I see about wrist/thumb pain? I have had pain in my thumb and wrist, mostly when picking things up (like a mug of tea). I was rock climbing regularly when it started to bother me, and after resting it for two months, it still is causing me pain. There was no specific moment that caused the injury.

  • Hello, it would be best to consult a sports doctor in order to get a diagnosis, and they will refer you to a specialist for optimal care and the best treatment suited to your condition. It is difficult for me to provide an opinion on your issue without further information. I wish you a speedy recovery.
