Help? My mom hurt her knee, what is wrong???

Question

Okay well she went on a walk last weekend and her knee started to hurt a couple days after, which she isn't overweight or anything, so i don't know if the walk had anything to do with it, but the inside of her knee has a sharp pain when sh steps down and her muscles lock and hurt really bad. What's wrong with her and what should we do???

Answer 1

elevate it and ice it and then consult a doctor.

Answer 2

I don't know how  0ld your mom is.and i won't ask..but it could be a tendon in her knee that is what's causing it..go consult a DR right away

Answer 3

You have to ask for your mother? I am sure depending on her pain your mother would know what to do.  

Answer 4

go see a Dr. to get an x-ray, maybe she twisted it, or pulled a muscle,tendon,ligament, or sprained it. Or even tore a meniscus, acl,lcl.

Has she tried to ice it down,or used ibuprofen?  

Answer 5

go to a doctor and check it out. It could be something with the joint, like arthritis.

Answer 6

Lil everybody telling ya go to the doctor..ok

well personally iam apharmacist ok i say that may be she isn'tused to have walks so she felt pain , u know sometimes when we don't do exercises for long time then do it hurts us cuz our body isn't used to such action...

so i suggest that she take a muscle relaxant if she didn't feel any better make urine analysis it may be some salts like oxalates or uric acids they hurt th joins...

if not u can council the doctor...

good luck:P

Answer 7

Bring her to the hospital.

Sounds kind of bad.

If you dont have a ride there, ask a neighbour.

Or a family member in town.
