Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On Knees
Question: worsening swollen inside knees and broken blood vessels and pain
Brief Answer:
Hot compress alternating with cold compress should provide relief
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have checked the attached image and understand your concerns. Your knee looks inflamed and it is evident that you must be in pain. In such a case hot compress alternating with cold compress should provide relief. You can take some analgesics like naproxen if felt required. The underlying cause of the inflammation needs to be evaluated. You need to visit a doctor and get an X ray of both knees - AP and lateral done. Based on the findings, some blood tests might be required to evaluate for arthritis or gout. Definitive treatment will depend upon the underlying cause.
Regards
