Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Knee After Knee Injury
My son was attacked yesterday and suffered a baseball bat to the knee. We went in the ambulance to the ER where they x-rayed the knee and pronounced nothing broken. They are still concerned about the ligaments and have made referral to the ortho at the cast clinic Thursday morning. They tensored the knee, gave us crutches and T2 and sent us home. He has been in bed with it elevated and iced and now the foot is swelling pretty badly. Any advice?
