Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness might have developed due to weakness of the ligaments & inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball
underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.

Hi,
thanks for writing in to us. I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below. 1. There can be slight variation in measurement of kidney when measured by doctors using different machines. There is a concern only when kidney size is less than 8.0 cms in length. Your kidneys are normal in both scans. 2. There are 3 stones in the lower pole of right kidney. These are small and can be dissolved by drinking adequate water and also reducing acidic urine. 3. There is a medicine called alkasol which will reduce acidity in urine and decrease the chance of stone formation and growth. This is a liquid and can be taken for a short duration of 5 days as 15 ml in a glass of water taken three times a day when you get any pain in kidney area or burning urination. Regards,
