How To Reduce Severe Pain In Knee Even After Using Dome Difflam And Icing?

Hi, my name is hannah and I am a young athlete. I have my athletics carnival this week where i am competing in the 200 400 800 and the 100m relay. However yesterday i was starting to feel some pain around my right knee. This morning i woke up and it is still extremelly painful, whenever i squat, when standing back up from the squat there is a huge amount of pain, the it goes away. It hurst when i run too. I cant pinpoint exactly where the pain is though, its around the outer right of the right knee, but there is no exact spot. I have used dome difflam, and iced it for 2 hours, but it is still extremely painful. Im really worried as what to do because i normaly win everything at sportsday. What do i do???

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.If you are getting a severe pain then a meniscal or ligament injury can be suspected.By physical examination by an Orthopedician you can rule out that.If he suspects then you will be send to CT or MRI to rule out that.If it is that then you need immobilization of knee for some days.Analgesics may give you pain relief.So it is better to consult an Orthopedician before you go for your sports event.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
