Hello, Ive Hurt My Knee And Im Not Sure If

Consult a doctor if there is too much swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After a knee injury if there is a swelling in the area and you have a pain on bearing weight on the knee then you need to consult an orthopedician for an examination and X-ray. In case while walking if you feel that knee is giving way then internal injury of the knee joint is likely which can be diagnosed by MRI scan.
If there is no swelling or mild pain then it can be a minor injury and you can wait for it to subside on its own.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

MRI scan is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The uncomfortable feeling that you have can be due to an internal injury to the knee ligaments or meniscus. You can continue wearing the brace but it is best to get an MRI scan done to assess the extent of damage your knee has suffered. You can remove the knee brace while resting on the bed.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
