Suggest Treatment For Painful Swollen Knee

I think I damaged the inside of my knee whilst playing football, although I could still play it was still painful the day after. About 4 weeks ago it worsened when I tackled a player. It was clicking and very swollen for a few days after. Although I can still work as a builder I haven t played football since as I know it would be to weak. Would you please let me have some ideas of how best treat my problem. Many thanks Lee

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, knee joint is very fragile unit and highly vulnerable for injury in my opinion it is advisable to get done the CT of knee joint to rule out the internal damage because this is very likely, till then have some rest and "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release can be tried, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
