Suggest Medicine For Knee Pain After Falling Down

Dear doctor, i fell over the other day and landed on all 4s. I grazed my right knee quite badly and a bruise has now developed on my knee around the cut. Since the day after my fall, on standing i get a throbbing in my right knee and it is quite bad and has got worse over the last few days. Its also not too bad on walking, just when standing still. Just want to know if i should go to a doctor or wether it should resolve by itself

Hello welcome to HCM

I am happy to help you out

accroding to your history and description of wound,I feel its not very severe injury.

If such patient comes to my clinic then i would examine knee joint for possible grave injury like ligament tear,fracture then according to finding would suggest further investigations like xray and prescribe some analgesic till investigation and educate him about wound dressing to be done at home.

such pain may last for 7-15 days but if pain persist

then i would suggest you to consult your nearby doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Thank you

Regards,
Dr.Om
