Knee pain anyone?

My knees have been through it all. Injuries in high school, destruction in college, both knees scoped, finally had both knees replaced. When the pain gets to where it is affecting what you do, you need to see a doctor. Steroid injections help my wife with her knee.

You may have torn a tendon(s). If so, the treatment will depend on the severity. It might be anything from simple physical therapy to draining fluid around the joint, to steroid injection(s), to a scope and cleaning out of the joint, to a total knee replacement, or combination of treatments. No one enjoys doctor visits and certainly not doctor bills, but your knees and your mobility are too important to ignore. Maybe reconsider and make an appointment to see the doc. If you have torn something, it will not heal on its own, and you might even make it worse. Good luck.

My left knee flared up yesterday evening as I was sitting down in a chair. Before that it was fine. I'm going to go to urgent care this afternoon. I'm wearing a knee brace and using a cane to help me walk. It's painful. It looks swollen.

I suffered knee injuries frequently in the service.

Here's what worked for me:
Ice 20 minutes 4x daily for the swelling.
Gentle walking or swimming if you can so it doesn't stiffen up.
Elevate your leg with that pillow for swelling.
Try diclofenac gel, i found it worked better than advil.
You can try compression sleeves but I hated them.

Hospitals are $$$ expensive gamble but you need your knee - so if you see a Doctor be direct and specific with eight core things:
1. Pain on a scale of 1 to 10
2. Specific location of pain
3. Estimate how long it's been hurting
4. What are you doing when it hurts
5. Tell them the pills you tried that don't work
6. Tell them if ice or heat helps (or not)
7. You can't rest, or you can't sleep, or you can't get up, etc..
8. Tell them history of your injury (new? recurring? etc..)
Important : Write down when it hurts most, what helps, how it affects daily life, etc.. like a diary.

Doctors love specificity and data (diary). Don't be vague "it just hurts" etc.. not helpful

Good luck

Get it xrayed. You may have something wrong inside like a lose but if mincus( Knee cartilage) can be very painful.
