What Causes Difficulty In Bending Leg After A Knee Injury?
Good day, I hurt my leg playing badmington. At first I felt a pain mostly in the back of my calve area but now I also feel as if something is displaced in my knee and it is swollen. I put ice and after voltaren cream which improved the situation as the pain was gone but now one week later my knee is swollen and I have difficulty bending it. Should I consult a doctor or should I go for physiotherapy? Thank you,

Pain may be due to injury to muscle or tendons. You apply ointment or anti-inflammatory cream over it for 4-5 days regularly. Take proper iron calcium diet for it. If, it will remain same then should consult to doctor with full medical history.
