Suggest Treatment For Swelling Below The Left Knee For A 49-year-old
Swelling that looks kind of like a golf ball has occurred Inside and below my left knee after playing frisbee football in the park. Now painfull to bend or straighten leg. I am 49 years old. Started to feel so pain but kept on playing. Probably not a good idea.
The symptoms seem to be related to inflammation due to overuse. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses at the area of the pain. I recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
