Swollen And Painful Knee From A Fall. Suggestions?
I slipped and landed right on top of my left knee. I scuffed it up pretty good and it hurt very much right away. The pain sort of went away the longer I walked. (trick or treating with my kids) Now that I am relaxing it is starting to swell and become very painful. Should I be really worried? What is it? I walk all day at work. Is this going to affect me? THANK YOU!!

Hi,
It is difficult to say without examination.
It may be a fracture or tendon injury..
Better to consult an orthopedic doctor and have an X-ray done
Good luck
