What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Right Knee After An Injury?
II missed a step yesterday morning and fell striking my right knee. When I got home I iced it. There s no pain when I m still, only some pain when I walk and bend it but it s still quite swollen and warm to touch a day and a half later. Is there reason for concern?
