What Is The Remedy For A Sore And A Swollen Knee After An Injury?

I hurt my knee while running two days ago. I was running at a slow pace and I felt my knee pop on the inside of my leg. I continued my run and afterward my knew was sore and swollen. Now my ankle is swollen as well, but there is no pain in the ankle.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed either to musculo-skeletal injury or inflammation of the joint- Osteoarthritis.
X ray of the knee joint will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.

Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
