Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Knee After A Fall

Hi I am 32 yrs old and weigh around 155 lbs. back in May I fell hard on some concrete on my knees. They both swelled up up a little bit and about a month and a half later the swelling stopped. But then in September I fell again and landed on my right knee, the swelling comes and goes but most especially when I am on my feet all day. Will this go away on its own?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got swelling your right knee after a fall. It is more on standing for long time. It's treatment is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You should keep your knee elevated on pillow on night times. Quadriceps exercises will be useful. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
