How Can Knee Pain Be Treated?

My knee was sore after running at track practice, but worsen when I fell on it and scraped it at my track meet. It didnt swell, but it was bruised and a day later I couldn t walk without pain and after a while I have to sit down . Also it hurts when I go up and down stairs, so I used the RICE method. It only ease my knee a little, but still have the pain. Am I injured?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Yes, you are injured. Do an x-ray of the knee.

I think you may have ligament injury which can cause this pain. It also causes difficulty in climbing up and down the stairs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
