Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Knees After Injury
I have injuried both of my knees by sitting on the tailgate of a truck and dropped to the ground. I am 67 years old. I can barely bend my knees as the pain is unbearable. I had both knees replaced approximately 10-11 years. I weigh 120 lbs. 5 1/2 feet tall with small frame. What should I do? This happened last Tuesday.

Hello,
I understand the trouble you are facing with the injury.
Kindly give ample rest to your knees to heal.
Ice application would be helpful.
If the pain is unbearble an xray both knees AP and lateral views is adviced.
Over the counter painkillers and sprays can be used initially.
A knee cap would be of help to you.
These should be sufficient for you along with an xray.
Thanks for seeking advice.
