General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

Most probably you might have injured ligament or tendon in the knee joint. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. Immobilize the affected limb for few days. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
