Hi, I suspect there was a slight bit of miscommunication/misunderstanding of what was going on since encephalitis cannot be diagnosed using a scope into the sinuses.

How to cure knee pain that increases on movement? I am an 42 year old women & have knee pain hydronephrosis in his left kidney , getting up or sitting down . However I take CIPCAL-500 & VOVERAN 50 GE & RANTAC 150 for 8 months which somehow relieves the pain but not cures it. Any help would be appreciated.
