What Should I Apply For Pain In My Knee After Falling?
I fell and hit both of my knees on the floor. Right now I m in a lot of pain because I have big lump or knot on both of my knees and it hurts to the point I can t really walk. I already use muscle cream and a pack of ice to numb it but do you think I should do anything else to get rid of the knots and pain fast? Can I try using a hot, wet rag for it to go down and away?

I think you should get x ray first to make sure that there is no bony injury. If x ray comes normal then I would suggest you to do following.
1. Ice application
2. Voletran gel local application
3. compression bandage
4. Avoid squatting and sitting cross leg.
This pain and swelling will go in week time. If it persist no need to worry. You can take Brufen tablet for pain relief.
