Hi there, I hit my knee really really hard on a sharp edge like 10 hours ago! After 30 minutes it started to feel very painful and now it s so hard to walk, lift my leg, or even bend it also there is a sharp pain on specific spot on the kneecap! I just looked at it and it s pretty swolle! What dose that sound like?And any advice?

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using helthcaremagic site ,
for the first 48 hrs try using ice bags on your knee,elevate them as long as you could on a pillow or something topical declophen gels are very helpfull as a painkiller and an antinflammatory drug,antiedematous drugs containing alpha chemotrypsin are recommended with swellings,Xray is needed to be assured its a contusion not a fissure or a torn ligamint or muscle ask your physician for physical examination and investigations if required.

Hope the above information helps you,Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
Any further clarifications feel free to ask
