Why is my knee hurting and swollen?
Patient's Query
I am 17 years old female. A heavy metal object fell on my knee which caused bruising. I didn't have any pain after that but then in June my knee started to hurt for a few days. The pain was mild. Then in September the pain came back and it was worse. My knee had swelled up a bit, my knee was popping and it hurt continuously for 3 weeks. After that my knee pain calmed down a bit but it has been hurting mildly continuously since then.
Answered by Dr. Deepak Aher
Sounds to me like you've somehow injured your knee, which can trigger swelling in the knee, pain, and the popping of the joint. The first impact might cause an internal shift, due to which your symptoms might be explained. Advisably, you should stop addressing your knee; in such cases, the application of ice cubes will, no doubt, help diminish swelling, and finally, resting your leg a little higher might be helpful. Analgesia drugs, such as those bought without any prescription may also, be of some use, but much stress must be given to the examinations of an orthopedist. They can examine your knee in detail and advise on treatments that will help you improve.
