What Is The Cause Of Painful Knees?

About a year ago, I tried to start running, I somehow hurt my left knee. It didnt hurt too much at the time, but off and on it hurts, it hurts to push on my knee- like my dog ran into me the other day, hitting my left knee pushing it backward while i was standing..very painful! It hurts on the outside joint, now it is swollen and i feel pain on my inside knee joint also?? WHat could be wrong?

Hello,

I think it's time you see orthopedic specialist. MRI or xray of the knee joint is highly recommended to evaluate the local changes.

Apply cold compresses meanwhile. Take anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen.

Apply antalgesic cream locally.

Wish fast recovery.
