Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

Hi! I am a high school athlete and play lacrosse. During the season a few months ago, I realized had knee pain. So to fix this, I got a knee brace and used it and all was well. Recently, my knee has been in so much pain. It is swollen. I take anti-inflammatory medication, ice it and elavateit but nothing works.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear, I really appreciate your concern. First of all, continue anti-inflammatory medicines, ice application and elevation of limb. Avoid playing any sports with lower limb movements. Consult an orthopedic surgeon. He wil examine you with certain tests to find out cause of pain and swelling of knee joint and might suggest you some radio-logical work up X ray of knee joint.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
