Help, problem in right knee?!
Question: Help, problem in right knee!?
I started taking a homeopathic medicine 3 days ago!. Then 2 days ago I hit my knee very lightly by accident when I was walking!. And then after that my knee hurt all day!. Normally that light of a hit would not have done anything!. Now my knee's pain is mostly gone but when I try to bend my right knee (the one that got hit) I hear a faint cracking/popping noise (like cracking knuckles)!. And some pain when I push my knee is still there!. Do you think this temporary or will it fix on its own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Ice ice ice ice , build up of fluid if there is swelling can fill up the joint and cause numerous funky sounds, if pain persists longer than 10 days go to orthopedic doctor, may have minimal cartilage damage!. If pain is severe and you're unable to walk go to emergency room now ! Www@Answer-Health@Com
I believe it is temporary!. I hear that popping sound sometimes too, so it is normal!. You might have bruised it or some of the fluid in your knee is a little loose or something!. Try to stay off it when possible, do not do any sports or vigorous exercise and ice it twice a day!. If you are still having problems in a week and a half, call a doctor!. Only after you've done all of the above!. If you go and play hockey tonight, of course it is gonna take longer to heal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well it sounds to me like there is something more than just a hurt knee!. you might have broke something or pull your knee out of place!. If I was in this position I would definitely get to the doctor as soon as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
