Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Knee After Getting It Twisted During A Workout
Yesterday, I was at my gym class and twisted my knee oddly where there was a brief discomfort. I continued my workout that included squats. Nothing noticeable aftermy workout. A few hours later as I was sitting at a staff meeting, I noticed significant swelling and stiffnes on the outside of my knee where the IT band starts. I wasn t able to bend the knee to sit but the swelling has subsided somewhat. Still elevating, icing and taking motrin.
Hello, Thanks for the query. It can be a spring or torn ligament. Immobilise the limb and apply icepack. Consult an orthopaedic at the earliest and plan for an MRI scan. Wishing all the best. Thanks
