Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In On Knee

After a fall from a bike I badly deflected my right leg. It is very swollen but 3 days later I have numbness to the knee to the right and below the knee which also occassionally gives a burning/stabbing sensation. X-rays at hospital were not thought to have shown any fractures. Can you advise please

Hello,

What I understand from the history that x-rays might not consider the soft tissue and any fracture present will not let you stay quiet as the pain will be excruciating.

Now the burning and stabbing sensation has two things to look for. either some nerve entrapment in it's course it leading this or either a ligament injury within the knee joint.

An orthopaedic with being the right choice to look for and conclude based on the clinical examination and correlating with the clinical symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
