Advise Treatment For Leg Pain
I am a 22 year old college student and I have been having increasing pain in my left knee while walking for the past 3 weeks. I do not remember injuring my knee, but I did move some furniture before the pain began. Should I continue to ice/rest my knee or is it time to see a physician?

Its time to visit the physician. The reason is, the history you are providing shows that you might be having a problem in the back causing pain in your knee, this is called referred pain. Icing your knee might not help. You need to visit a physicians who ll help confirm diagnosis n then treat it
