What To Do For Painful Swollen Knee?

Hello. I just came back in from NY on last week and noticed that my left knee was swollen. I ran twice on last week and it was fine. I ran 3 miles on Monday and it was fine. I ran 3 miles on it today and I have had pain for the whole day. The knee is still a little swollen, but not as swollen as it was on last week.

Hi
was your knee injured??? If it was you need to have x ray of knee.
If it was not you need to wear a crepbandage and every 2 hour apply ice on it....it will surely reduce your swelling.
Have rest for few days.
If the swelling does not subside get a xray and mri knee done.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
