What Causes Knee Pain While Bending After An Injury?
hi, I suffered a knee injury yesterday, I can put wait on it and there is no swelling or pain to touch, however I cannot bend my knee and have a constant aching pain inside when straight then severe pain on attempting to bend. The pain appears at the back of the knee and possibly the bottom of the knee cap Only tramadol has come close to easing this. What are your diagnostics??Do you recommend I see a GP, A&E or neither. Many thanks

Hello.as you said that you had a injury yesterday and since then your knee is in pain and movements are also restricted.so you should have a knee xray to confirm whether any major cause is there or not.you may have acelofenac and paracetamol combination twice daily for 3-4 days under your physician's advice.and foment your knee with ice cubes and try to make movements slowly and you can also apply a diclofenac ointment locally over the area.jope hope this will help you.thanks
