Hi, my knee is painful especially when playing futsal. It has been some years. I can still play but got some pain when there is a pressure to the knee.

Any Orthopaedic surgeons doctor (who won't overcharge) to recommend ? notworthy.gif

This is my conclusion from everyone's thumbsup.gif contribution here:

1. Go for scan to find out what problem: Go for MRI scan. Xray is not detail enough. This can be done any hospital.
2. After scan we will know the cause. Possible cause: arthritis, ACL, meniscus tear
3. Solution: Operation (3-5 days hospitalization) and long-term (3 months or more) supplement maintenance with Glucosamine + Chondroitin
4. Cost is RM15k-RM20k. Use personal and company medical card.

Doctor recommendation
1. Dr. Gan at KPJ Damansara
2. Dr Chan Kin Yuen in Gleneagles KL.
3. Dr. Khoo at Columbia Asia Hospital in Puchong
4. Dr Low Eu Huat from Tung Shin.
5. Dr Tai from KPJ.
6. Dr Suresh George at Sunway

while looking for Dr, have you taken Glucosamine+Chondroitin supplement? if No, suggest to get from pharmacy soonest as you can as the supplement make a lot of differences in easing your inflammation and replacing your soft tissue.

depends on your diagnosis and severity.....

to give you a perspective, if i'm not mistaken an ACL surgery might cost 10-20k

Want reasonable price go to Tung Shin. Look for Dr Low Eu Huat. He is very famous there already.

Be prepared to wait for 2 hours and incase if you really want to do it there, try to get the better private room cos the wards are abit rundown.

supplement is a continuous course probably whole life, it is not a medicine that take now then the problem gone tomorrow. Even if you confirmed to have arthritis, Dr will still advice you to take glucosamine constantly to ensure you are healthy.

Do note that you need supplement with Glucosamine+Chondroitin together, not the glucosamine alone coz chondroitin is the 1 deal with your pain. Normal adult consumption is Glucosamine (1000mg) + Chondroitin (800mg), you could just increase the dosage initially if needed. The wonder of supplement is you could just drop it if you feel your body react differently on it

Pls spend some time also deciding on the proper orthopedics expert for your knee. You have to understand what are the near term solution vs long term effect for any decision taken.

A few pharmacists I spoke to now recommend collagen (can't recall which type) instead of glucosamine.

Depends on your interest bro as both targeted on replenishing your soft cartilage tissue. Sorry to tell i have no right to compare because I'm not a Dr but only a consumer laugh.gif

Glucosamine/chondroitin is a well known formula whereas collagen still new and not many pharmaceutical company has the product. So, it turn out glucosamine/chondroitin is more cost effective and favor.

Previously i tried a product made out of chicken feet collagen and the results doesn't seems 'better' aside the cost is x3 more expensive than normal Glucosamin/chondroitin. So, after taken for 4-5 months i dropped it tongue.gif
