General Surgeon 's  Response
If you are having problem walking then you should get an XRay done of the affected knee. Also, get an XRay of the wrist which doesnt sound like a fracture but it could be a dislocation. With the XRays you should sought the opinion of an Orthopaedician to know exactly what to do. Meanwhile, you should apply crepe bandage or wear knee caps. Also, foamentation with warm water will help ease the pain. You can take anti inflammatory medications like Paracetamol or Diclofenac sodium meanwhile to decrease the pain. Take care,
