Fell Down On Knee. Developed Pain And Swelling From Knee To Toe. How To Cure This?

Thanks for posting your query.
It seems you might developed ligament injury to your knees.If proper rest is not given(immobilization in form of knee brace) and if you continue to walk on your injured knee, healing of ligaments might get hampered or delayed.This might be the reason that swelling is not subsiding and pain persists.
Now after 4 weeks if pain is severe ,I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Hope this will help you. Please do write back if you have any additional concerns.
Wishing you speedy recovery...

Thanks for posting your query again.
If it is not painful, means injury is in healing stage and some swelling is normal even after 4 weeks after an injury. Continue to keep limb elevated as much as you can.It might take 1 to 2 more weeks to subside.If after that it persist , get it evaluated.
Hope this will help you. Please do write back if you have any additional concerns.
