Suggest Treatment For Knee Injury

I slipped and fell on my knee around 10/26, it turned black and blue and was sore then it went away, however if i lightly bump my knee into something on accident it hurts a lot more than it should, it also hurts to kneel but everything else like bending or walking is pain free

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion that could be a ligamentous injury where the origin of your muscle which may take time to heel according to your injury .
From your given history i do not think you have a ligament tear or maybe partial so i dont want you to worry .
you may use painkillers like advil when needed , hot massages with topical gels and use a knee support will be helpful .
If pain persists or swelling increases i recommend X ray and MRI to exclude any fissures , muscular or ligament tear , meniscus or cartilage injuries for proper evaluation and management .

Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive if the information was helpful. Wish you good health,
Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
