Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Knee

Last week I went on a hen weekend, done some walking, then out at night in my heels. I didn t fall over or bash my knee at all, and don t remember pulling any muscles etc but late at night when I was coming out of the club I noticed my knee was hurting (never had this happen before) The next day it was still sore and the only way I can describe it was it was like my knee needed an oil. I wasn t doubled over in pain and have been fine to walk, just felt sore. This was a week ago now, and the pain is so much better, although it does hurt when I kneel down to play with my daughter, but I have noticed an egg size lump forming on my right knee cap. What could this be?

Hello,

Do use "RICE." Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) is good for knee pain caused by a minor injury or an arthritis flare. Give your knee some rest, apply ice to reduce swelling, wear a compressive bandage, and keep your knee elevated. Don't overlook your weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
