Suggest Remedies For Severe Leg Pain Post An Injury
Last night I uncrossed my leg and I felt something tear or snap below my knee cap where the patella tendon I think attaches. Incredible pain and couldn t use my leg at all. Went to to bed with ice and woke up this morning and it felt better, a little sore but better? What gives?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury, probably tendinitis.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses at the painful area.
I recommend to do an x ray to exclude a fracture.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
