Dear Caravan2

Thank you for posting on care opinion. I am very sorry to hear you are struggling with a painful knee. I suggest you discuss with your GP as soon as you can. They will have your details regarding your medical history about your knee. They then can inform our service of how we can further support you with this.

Hello Caravan2,

I'm really sorry to hear that your knee is giving you trouble.

The best person to speak to about this would be your GP. They will be able to advise you on the best treatment for your knee.

It is best to phone the practice first or check on their website for information, as there may be some changes to appointments because of the coronavirus.

Many Thanks,

Rachel
