Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got soft tissue injury to your knee .X ray will be required to rule out fractures. MRI will show injury in detail specially ligament injury.Till then icing will be helpful in reducing swelling and pain. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is effective pain relief. Rest is needed for recovery. Vitamin and C are helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
