General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to the jump. The pain in the knee is caused by overuse of your knee joint, such as frequent jumping on hard surfaces. It's usually a sports-related injury, related to leg muscle contraction and the force of hitting the ground. I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to rest, use ice compresses and elevate the legs.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
