Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have somehow hurt my knee. It has been hurting for a few weeks. I overdid with exercising. Now it is swollen. What could it be?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It could be grinding of the knee cartilage, causing pain and knee swelling (synovitis).
Instructions for knee pain:
You need to take the following tablets:
Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Do not take these tablets if you are a known case of bronchial asthma.
Activities that cause pain should be avoided temporarily. If the knee is swollen or sore, the following positions and activities should be avoided until knee pain and swelling resolve:
You should wear a knee cap to support the knee joint, wear it all day, and you can remove it at night. Apply ice packs twice daily for 15 mins each. You need to get your X-ray of both knee joints in AP (standing) and lateral views.
Do the X-rays and upload them for accurate advice,
Thank you.
