I hurt my knee help??

Question

this moring i missed a step on the stairs and my knee got a little shaken up its not a torn tendon no swelling just a little twang of pain when i move it what did ido to it????????????

Answer 1

Ice it, Elevate it and stay off of it (limit stair climbing, running, etc...) for a few days.  If it's not better in a week, then you should see a dr.

As for meds - take a combo of Alleve OR Ibuprophen AND Tylenol.  Alleve & Ibuprophen will help bring down the inflamation and give you some pain relief and the Tylenol will add a "punch" to the other meds without tearing up your stomach.

Answer 2

you might have a sprain.
