Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain

about a year ago I was walking in my knee just suddenly gave out on me I went to the ER couple hours later and they said it was spraying today will recently it s been hurting me really bad when I walk and it s the outside my left knee and there s a scene burning pain behind my knee when it when I walk in when I like sit down and don t move it and it gives out on me when I walk and it gets a numb tingly feeling after about 10 minutes of being on it. I ve been icing it before I go anywhere and as soon as I get home for about 20 minutes everyday at least three times a day. Any ideas on what could be wrong with it? I have an appointment with my doctor but the soon as I can get his next week. And it s really been bothering me.

Hi there
you are describing symptoms of knee instability. this means that one or 2 of ligaments that holds the knee stable during movement has been injured and the time of your old injury and it has probably gotten worse. A good knee check by a doctor should tell what is wrong. For now use over the counter pain medications and use a crutch when walking untill you see your doctor. you could also use a knee brace meanwhile.
