What Does Pain In The Legs Indicate After A Fall?
Question: I fell on my knee a few weeks ago and it still hurts to walk
Brief Answer:
May need X-ray and orthopedician review
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, you need to have it's Xrays done and get it reviewed by an orthopedician, though ince it's there for weeks and you still can walk and do with bearing so gross or major fracture is less likely but patella hair line fracture or ligament injury should be ruled out.
Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen and local or topical anti inflammatory creams like diclofenac gels can help. Antibiotics doesn't seem to be needed at this stage.
Supplements for calcium, D3 and bisphonates can speed up recovery but protein rich diets or egg whites can help too. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope this has answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. Regards
