How To Treat A Knee That Is Swollen Due To Falling On Ice?
I fell on the ice yesterday and hit my knee. It began to immediately swell. I could put weight on it and seemed to be able to walk, though it was very very sore. I applied ice and stayed off of it the rest of the day. Today, while still swollen, it hurts much less when walking on it. It hurts most when straightening my leg while walking. Wondering if it s worth a trip to the dr or will they just tell me to ice it
