What Is The Remedy For Constant Swelling Of Ther Area Below And Around The Knee After An Injury?
31 year old mother of 2 kids. Not as active as I should be and about 20 pounds overweight. Played football 6 weeks ago and injured left knee. Since then I've had a constant swelling below and around the left lower inside of the knee (and a rather large lump feels like bone or scar tissue). Some instability. Sometimes I can walk fine, sometimes the knee buckles. X ray findings came back normal. If I'm on it too long the swelling moves up in the top of the thigh and move down over the shin bone. A little tender when the inside left of the knee is probed. Any ideas what I could be dealing with? Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I understand your problem this could be soft tissue inflammation and this takes little more time to come around during this time period the rest is important for rapid recovery mobility could delay the healing, avoid bending the knee joints, you can take the anti-inflammatory drug only when it is very necessary else no need to take any medicine, nothing to worry this will come around later or sooner take care and have good day.
