How Can Intense Pain In The Knee Joint Be Treated?
Hello, since last night when I was at an outside concert and sitting in a cramped seat for over an hour with both feet in cold water, I have had intense pain in my left knee joint which I had replaced in 2013. I am unable to bear weight on it or lift my leg on its own , unable to bend it to get into car without severe pain. Other knee is painful also, also due for a replacement in January. I have slept most of the day with headache and chills.

Hi,
It might be a simple ligament sprain or contusion. As a first line of management you can try analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedics and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
