Hello,
Given that your knee is still sore after 8 weeks, even without major limitations in walking, it would be wise to consult a general practitioner for an initial assessment. They can perform a clinical examination and, if needed, refer you to an orthopaedic specialist.

Possible next steps may include:

- Imaging: X-ray to check bone integrity, or MRI to assess ligaments, menisci, and cartilage.
- Referral to physiotherapy: To restore mobility, strength, and stability of the knee.
- Specialist follow-up: Orthopaedist or sports medicine physician for targeted treatment options.

In the meantime, avoid hi...gh-impact activities (running, contact sports) and continue low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling, provided they do not cause pain.

Kind regards,

Hello,
The type of specialist to consult for a bump under the foot is generally a podiatrist (foot specialist) or an orthopedic surgeon specialized in foot and ankle. They can examine the area, confirm whether it is a plantar fibroma or another condition (such as a cyst or callus), and propose the most suitable treatment.
In the meantime, avoid excessive pressure on the area by using cushioned insoles or pads, and monitor for any changes in size, pain, or redness.

Hello,
For a herniated disc at L5-S1 causing sciatic nerve pain radiating to the knee, calf, and foot, it is important to start by consulting a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation (a physiatrist) or a neurologist. They can evaluate your symptoms, order appropriate imaging (like an MRI if not done yet), and guide you toward the best treatment options.
An orthopedic spine specialist or a neurosurgeon may also be involved if surgical intervention is considered.
In parallel, a follow-up with an osteopath can help alleviate muscular tensions and improve mobility, complementing your medical care.
Do not delay seeking ...medical advice to properly manage your condition.
