Pain In The Knee With Swelling, Difficulty In Walking Post A Hard Fall On The Foot. Done Cold Compress And Had Kept Leg Elevated. Chance Of Major Damage?
Yesterday I was painting my living room and lost my balance on the ladder. I fell from 4 feet but landed on my right foot with all of my weight. I immediately had pain in my knee and had swelling within an hour. I kept it elevated all night with ice but more swelling today and hard to walk. Do you think there is major damage?

hi,
welcome to Health Care Magic Forum
Please consult a doctor immediately. You need to get an xray and rule out a fracture. Its very important to immobilise your knee at the earliest. Take Care
