What Could Pain And Swelling In Knees After An Injury Indicate?
Hi , I banged my knee badly on a water slide on Saturday , it didn t swell up but it has been causing me some pain ever since , I can bend the knee but walking and driving hurts and any pressure to the top of my knee hurts quite a bit . What should I do ?? Ibuprofen doesn t seem to help at all !

Hi,
I think you should visit a hospital ER and get an x-ray of the affected part. Even if there is no fracture, you should have plaster cast for 3-6 weeks along with paracetamol and multivitamins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
