What Can Help Deal With Knee Pain After An Injury?
Hi, I missed my footing on a step and landed heavily twisted my ankle and knee. The knee pain was immediate and severe but quietened down after a couple of hours. Now I have calf pain also, can't put much weight on the leg and it feels as though I've also damaged my Archilles tendon. Should I start with RICE? Would walking in a warm pool help? Thanks.

Hi, I have gone through your query. Yes, you should start RICE therapy as soon as possible for 4 days. Then start hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening for 10 days Avoid running jumping for about 10- 15 days. I hope it helps. Thanks. Dr.Singh
