Sarpedon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am a regular runner and my knee has started giving me a bit of trouble over the last couple of months. I have tried various strengthening exercises but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've been to Sports injury clinic at Samitivej hospital and the doctor there couldn't find anything wrong, he just told me to rest for a week and gave me some anti inflammatory pills. I have pretty much stopped running since I first felt the pain and have mostly been doing swimming. The medicine I was given seems to only have a minimal effect, if at all. The doctor talked about getting a MRI scan if things are not better but I would like to get a second opinion first. Does anyone have any recommendations for sports injury clinics or doctors that specialise in knees? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If it has been going on for months and not improved with conservative tx (rest and anti-inflammatories) then you likely will need an MRI. I've had a lot of good feedback on Dr. Panya at Bumrungrad for knee issues. http://www.bumrungrad.com/en/search-for-a-thailand-doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretPerron Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) After getting injured in a marathon, I was in a need to get an immediate treatment. My guess was not anywhere near to Tendentious, but the doc diagnosed it clearly. There was only 20 minutes in total in the clinic, The total amount comes near to $300 and the insurance bought it down to $150.
