Hello Dear User and thanks for using HCM Service.

According to the information presented, the pain can be due to several factors, among them, excessive physical activity, consequent wear of articular cartilage and, of course, age.

However, among the modifiable factors that may contribute to pain relief is physical activity.
I understand that sport is important to you, but I would recommend rest for at least 15 days. In addition, analgesics such as ibuprofen every 8 hours for 7 days in conjunction with 4 or 8 mg of thiocolchicoside every 8 hours, it will release yur muscles, and ligaments. There are presentations of this drugs, which are combined.

Also local ice is useful for ten minutes very 3 or 4 hours, during 2 or 3 days.

Wishing the best for you
