Need Medication For Pain In Knee Due To An Injury

Hello, I am a teenaged boy and I have recently injured my knee about 4 days ago. My main problem with it is that it hurts when I apply pressure on it and when I bend it. You see, this weekend I am heading up to a snowboarding event with my team and I would not miss it for the world. what could I do to it before or during when I am on the slopes so that it won t hurt as much?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history.

As per the history this looks more of a ligament sprain. Using icing for reducing pain should help you and some small knee strengthening exercises to support the joint. Also, using a knee brace will help further to stabilize the joint during the game.

In an instant recovery of pain, applying vapocoolant spray and using knee brace helps for best sports outcome.
