Why Is My Knee So Painful?
i sprained my right knee and it is really painful... there seems no bone injury as i can walk however the muscles seem to be all knotted and is getting very painful. I had a couple of Hiphenac MR after which the pain reduced. However the pain keeps coming back. Please advice

Hello,
Apart from muscles there are ligaments ,tendons,Bursa and meniscus in our knee joint.There is a possibility of medial meniscus tear from the kind of injury you mention.It would be good if you do a MRI scan of the knee joint.
Till then rest,ice application and avoidance of painful movements with restricted weight bearing will be good.
A knee cap will provide some knee support.
Hope this helps you
thank you.
