Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
If you are not feeling any pain and just stiffness is there, it means there is no serious injuries. You can apply diclofenec ointment, and also apply hot water bottle. If stiffness persist or pain starts then you can get a ne k x ray done. At present there is no such need though.
