Suggest Treatment For Pain In Knee While Working Out

I was working out at the gym today and began to feel pain in my knee while lunging. As the night went on, the pain has gotten worse. It feels like an air bubble because I can feel the pain shift as I rub my bent knee. What should I do as a home remedy?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The fact that your pain is occuring with movements indicates a muscle strain. Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain.

I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -

* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
