How Can Knee Pain Due To An Injury Be Treated?
So, I bruised and cracked my bone in my right knee back in November, right before Thanksgiving. It has just recently healed, but not completely. Just a couple days ago, I was doing physical education and it has been hurting ever since up to the point where I can t walk because it hurts so bad. Can I get crutches to lay off the pain?

Hello,
It could be an inflammatory pain.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply ice packs over the affected area.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
