Hi i Am 42+. Suffering from right knee pain for past one week to such an extent that am limping. There is also a small swelling on the right side of my knee. Am taking homeopathic medicine and pain killers also applying joint pain relief oil. But still pain is persisting with some amount of stiffness in this knee. Please suggest what should I do. Me, a teacher of a reputed school in kolkata and have to move a lot within the sprawling and vast school campus.

Hello, thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am dr akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Can you recall any initiating factor for this pain like any twisting injury etc? apart from swelling, is there any associated warmth, skin redness etc? are you having any fever or any associated complaints you would like to mention? you can do some intensive ice packs, use crepe bandage for compression analgesic as per your body' s suitability for 2-3 days limb elevation over pillows for 3-4 days if your pain or swelling increase, then we will have to investigate you further in form of x rays and investigations do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
