Should I Consult A Doctor As My Knee Is Swollen And Having Pain?
Hello,
I had gymnastics practice today, and i was swinging on the high bar, and i slipped, and landed on my knee (the bar is about 10 feet high) my knee started swallowing right away. I can walk without it hurting too much, but bending it, or touching it hurts really bad.it is really swollen ,and it hurts more than it did at first.i have had 3 fractures before, so i know what ot feels like to be seriously injured, but im not sure about that one.my question is:should i consider this injury and go to the doctor or shoyld i just keep icing it and take advil? I also have important competitions the following weekends so i want thus to be over ASAP. Thank you!

Hello
Welcome to HCM
If your have history and your knee is swollen then I will advice you to get an xray done of your knee.if xray finding reveal something doubtful then consult a doctor.meanwhile you can have flexon A, a painkiller and apply anesthetic gel on knee.
Thank you
