Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

My left knee started hurting all of a sudden. It was fine up until a couple of hours ago. I wasn t doing anything physical when it happened. I just stood up and felt the pain. I can walk but can t really put any pressure on the knee. It doesn t appear to be swollen but is tender to the touch all around my knew. I am unable to straighten my leg completely and when I try I get a sharp pain in the back of my knee. The same thing happens when I try to bend it. It is strange how it happened so suddenly.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your knee seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug likemotrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

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