What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Knee?
My knee is swollen. It has been painful for about 2 weeks. For the past 3 days there has been heat radiating from the knee area. I cannot bend the knee, it is stiff and very painful. I was thrown off of my daughters horse a month ago. I didn t really notice the knee being injured at that time. Just broken ribs. What could this be? Could it be related?

Hi,
Its not related to rib fracture. It could be mostly inflammation in knee. Please use Diclofenac tablet daily two. One in the morning and one in the night after eating for 5 days. For better solution get an X-ray of knee joints and get back to us. Meanwhile, please do hot water sponging.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
