How Can Pain In The Knees Be Treated?
Hi I hyper-extended my knee the other day. And now every time I sit or stand or try and use the stairs I have sharp pain in my knee. I don t have any pain walking as long as it s not on an incline. not sure if it s a sprain or if it s something worse. there s no swelling of any kind and it is getting better compared to yesterday. When sitting down I can move my up and down and in a circle without any pain it s just when there s weight on it

Hi,
It can be an early sign of arthritis.
As a first step, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
