How To Reduce Knee Pain Other Than Taking Tylenol?

I was pushed on accident and hit my foot on the ground if a pool hard. This caused my right knee to hard very badly. It hurts when bending, raising and lowering my knee. Ive taken Tylenol and in addition, I ve iced and elevated it but have cross country tryouts tomorrow. Is there anything else I can do? Brace? Kineso tape? Is it a pulled muscle or will I need an xray?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You should take Diclofenac, Chlorzoxazone and serratopeptidase drug.

This drug will cure pain, relaxes muscle and add for helping in tissue.

If you have excruciating pain and swelling at joint and its not possible to move it than its fracture and needs x ray evaluation. If not then its not suggestive of fracture and needs only drugs therapy to cure the pain.

But as per your description you should fit joint in to fix position which makes the healing more effective.

Please avoid injury to the joint as it can be obstacle in further healing.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
