Answers:
OH WHERE TO BEGIN!. YOU HAVE SWELLING IN THE TISSUE NEAR THE PATELLA (KNEECAP) OR IN THE FLUID FILLED SAC WHICH LIES BEHIND THE PATELLA AND BETWEEN THE DISTAL FEMUR AND THE PROXIMAL TIB-FIB (BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER LEG BONES) !. WHEN YOU GET TO THE DOCTOR HE WILL PROBABLY ORDER XRAYS AND SEE WHAT'S UP!. HE MAY HAVE TO DRAIN FLUID FROM THE KNEE AREA!. HOPEFULLY IT IS JUST TISSUE SWELLING!.
I RECOMMEND ICE PACKS!. GET OFF YOUR FEET!. ALTERNATE EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL WITH IBUPROFEN EVERY 4 HOURS!. IN OTHER WORDS TYLENOL AT NOON, IBUPROFEN AT 4PM, TYLENOL
AT 8PM, IBUPROFEN AT MIDNIGHT ETC!. DO NOT EXCEED THE DOSAGES RECOMMENDED ON THE PACKAGE!!! BY THE WAY A PRESCRIPTION DOSE OF IBUPROFEN IS 800 MILLIGRAMS!. OVERDOSE OF TYLENOL CAN CAUSE LIVER FAILURE!. ALSO IF YOU ARE UNSURE ON THIS ADVICE, IGNORE IT OR CHECK WITH A PHARMACIST!. THEY ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF FREE INFO ON MEDICINES!. I AM GLAD TO HELP YOU WITH THIS BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADVICE!. I HAVE TO STATE THAT FOR MY OWN PROTECTION!.
TYLENOL WILL HELP WITH THE PAIN
IBUPROFEN WILL HELP WITH THE SWELLING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR KNEE
I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER
PS A BROKEN PATELLA IS RARE AND EXTREMELY PAINFULL, A BROKEN PROXIMAL TIB-FIB WOULD BE VERY PAINFULL TO WALK ON!. A BROKEN FEMUR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK ON!. THE ONLY POSSIBILITY OF FRACTURE IS A CRACK OR CHIP!. THE SYMPTOMS YOU DESCRIBE ARE MORE INDICATIVE OF TISSUE SWELLING OR MENISCAL TEAR OR RUPTURE OF THE SYNOVIAL SAC!. ANY OF THESE WORDS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU CAN LOOK UP, BUT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS BASICALLY MUSCLE TEAR, TENDON TEAR, OR LEAKAGE OF SYNOVIAL FLUID

ice it for 20 minutes at a time!. Ice in a bag, not directly on it!.
Next, try 2- 81 mg aspirin and 1 tylenol!. OR try an aleve!.
Then, liue down and elevate the knee above heart level!.
That should reduce swelling!.
If not better tomorrow, see a doctor or the ER!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
