[quote]QUOTE: - Could anyone from doctors community reply to the following query please. Thnx

No doubt, the doctor who has seen the patient and advised arthroscopy knows the best and for us here (in this forum) a lot of information, which is lacking, is required before coming to the decision of arthroscopy.

One thing that I would like to add to the advice of Mr. waseem, the patient must get arthroscopy done only from that centre which has both the diagnostic as well as the therapeutic facilities at the one and the same sitting NOT one sitting for the diagnosis and the other one for the treatment at the same or two different centres. It saves the time, minimises the risk of complications and is more cost effective.

In addition, regarding arthroscopy see also the following links:

GENERAL ADVICE (regardless of diagnosis of the knee condition)

1.	According to the advice of the orthopaedic surgeon and the physiotherapist who have seen you, physiotherapy is mainstay of the treatment to increase the range of movement or decrease the risk of stiffness of the joint.

2.	Avoid habituation of painkillers, as it is not unusual in such conditions.  Chronic use of painkillers has much potential of side effects especially to the stomach and kidney. Moreover some painkillers are notorious for addiction and dependence.

3.	Avoid local massages but local painkiller creams may be used gently after advice of the doctor who has seen you.

4.	  You can offer your prayers in any comfortable position on the mat, chair, cot or bed etc.

5.	 Use of commodes makes the need easy.

I hope it will help!

Wassalam!
