Is knee swelling after fall normal?

Patient's Query

Last week I fell and hit my knee. It is bruised and swollen. There are no breaks or cracks in the area. Today the bruise on my knee is starting to fade but the swelling is hard. Her legs can walk as usual, but sometimes it hurts, she can't straighten and feel pressured in the swollen part. Because the swelling is hot and hard. Kdng2 is tired and throbbing. When she wants to straighten her legs, she will crack her knees and feel heavy. When I sit down he is depressed in his knees. Is it dangerous or is it normal to get hit?

Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I twisted my ankle a couple hours ago , when it happened it hurt a lot, but I managed to get up a few minutes later and walk home. I rested for a few hours, and when I tried to walk again, it hurt real bad. I can’t step on my foot or even move it when I try to. It hurts really bad but when I don’t move it or step on it, it doesn’t hurt at all. The pain is all around the ankle it feels like tension or something blocking my movement.

Male | 17

Probably you have sprained your ankle. Ligaments can get stretched or torn when you bend your ankle too far, and as a result, you may experience pain and swelling. Additionally, it may cause you to have difficulty properly moving your ankle. Rest your ankle, apply ice, elevate it, use compression, and take medication to help with the pain and swelling. Avoid putting weight on it and allow it to heal. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist for further evaluation.

Shoulder pain , and less movement while lifting the shoulder

Female | 48

Lifting your arm but feeling shoulder pain isn't great. Sometimes it results from tearing or overstretching a muscle. Frozen shoulder cases involve shoulder joint stiffness and reduced movement. To relieve the soreness, try gently stretching. However, if discomfort lingers, get evaluated by an orthopedist.

Sir / madam my left shoulder is too much paining from back to shoulder till finger it's like tingling,numbness and so much pain and in night this pain increased alot please let me some medicine to relief it fast

Female | 41

A pinched nerve might cause your shoulder pain. Nerves get squeezed by surrounding tissue. Tingling numbness feels common here. You can try ibuprofen, an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Ice packs reduce swelling too. Rest your shoulder. Avoid activities making pain worse. If pain persists, see an orthopedist.

I have left knee meniscus pain leftknee right side pain how to reduce pain walk na i have pain steps down na pain pls tell me sir how many days reduce pain

Female | 28

Pain on the outer side of your left knee could be due to a meniscus tear. The meniscus is a wedge of cartilage in your knee, and when it's torn, it can cause swelling. For pain relief, try to avoid activities that make it worse, like walking and climbing stairs. Resting your knee, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain medicines can help. However, if the pain continues for several days or worsens, visit an orthopedist.

I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?

Female | 17

You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

Mild Pain at the left thigh what's the best remedy

Male | 37

Muscle strain or overuse might cause this. Long periods of sitting or standing could also be the reason. Rest your leg, use a warm compress, gently massage the area - these may help ease discomfort. If pain persists or worsens, avoid activities aggravating it, give your leg rest. Stay hydrated, do gentle stretches. But if pain lingers after a few days, consult an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Female | 17

This could indicate a serious ankle injury, possibly a fracture. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention to determine the extent of the damage and receive proper treatment. Rest, elevate your leg, and apply ice in the meantime, but prioritize getting medical help as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

I have phase 2 ACL injury. Now I can climb stairs but sometimes feel pain slightly during downstairs. But there is slight swelling. Should I go for Physiotherapy? I supposed to journey by bus and auto. Sometimes feels slight buckles in my knee.

Male | 35

You better see an Orthopedic Specialist. ACL injuries necessitate accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent additional damage. Sometimes physiotherapy may be beneficial, but it is more advisable to seek the advice of a specialist in order to get an adequate treatment regimen. Since the buckling can be a symptom of an unstable joint, you must address it immediately.

Hi, I'm Tanille Henrico. I had a decompression and fusion back surgery on my lower back 5 years ago. And I'm on Lyrica 75mg twice a day and Neurontin 500mg three times a day. My back is now starting to get more and more painful by the day. And I must drink extra pain medication every day. What must I do? Please whatsapp me back

Female | 44

Looks like you're suffering from a lot of backache. Even though Lyrica and Neurontin kinds of drugs are being taken, back pain may worsen, and this may be a brand new problem or the deterioration of what used to be. You have to meet your doctor for a check-up to diagnose the cause of the recurrent pain. Sometimes, it is necessary to change your meds or use additional treatments to reduce the pain as much as possible.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong

Male | 67

Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

Why have I had rib pain for months and hurts my side when breathing in

Female | 21

Chronic pain in ribs occurs which makes them feel painful while breathing. Moreover, it is often associated with the development of a life-threatening disease. The most widespread reasons for such pain are muscle strain, rib cracks, or inflammation of the lung lining. If you feel that such pain is occurring, it would be wise to make an appointment with a pulmonologist or an orthopedist.
