How Long Does Swelling And Stiffness In Knee Take To Alleviate?

I fell down ONE stair and I hurt my knee. It swelled up, was very stiff and I feel like it ll buckle if I put too much weight on it. I did this roughly 10 days ago. I can walk on it but its not the most comfortable. I m leaving for Disney in about 12 days..Will I be healed in time to enjoy my vacation?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using cold compresses for local application. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. It will be healed gradually.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
