What Casues Pressure In Knee Around Knee Brace?

Hi, while at work, i was checking a material on top of a pallet, (Quality Control) and its about 4 1/2 feet high. I sat down and with my arms, i lowered myself to the ground. At 2 1/2 feet i let go to land, but my foot got stuck, and i lande on my free leg(right) with all my weight. At first i was ok. Had a little limp to my walk. Now, I feel some pressure on my knee, and i where a knee brace which helps, but the feeling is uncomfortable. The side of my knee is where the pain is at. Im assuming its a pinched nerve, cause if i hit the side of my knee softly, its a sharp pain. And sometimes if i walk too long, it gets painful. From one to ten the pain is like a seven. Can you assist with the pain?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got lateral collateral ligament injury because you have tenderness in that area. Treatment of it is icing. Rest is helpful. Wearing brace relieve pain because weight is transferred to brace. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful as it relieve swelling and pain. VitaminB and vitamin C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
