Suggest Medication For Knee Pain Due To An Injury
I hurt my knee about a month ago playing soccer. I tried to take a few weeks off but when I went to try and play again it gives out on me and really hurts. It gives out when I walk especially making turns around a corner. It really hurts deep inside the back of my knee as well as the front and inside part of my knee. I can not sleep because I am very uncomfortable and have a problem straightening my leg all the way. Could this be a PCL injury?

I would recommend you to get the MRI of the knee joint to confirm if there is any ligament injury is present. It can be a cartilage or meniscus injury. I also want to suggest you to wear a knee brace till you get your further diagnosis. Take Brufen tablet for pain and swelling. Also keep on applying ice over knee.Do not bend knee or just bend it enough that pain allows .It can be PCL injury also.
