Slight Knee pain, should i be worried?!


Question: Slight Knee pain, should i be worried.?
While i was walking to class today I very briefly felt my knee pop while walking up a flight of stairs. There was no immediate pain or awkward movement. An hour later my knee felt weird and now theres a slight pain as well as very small swelling. It does not hurt when bending or extending my leg. The only serious is pain is when im crouched like a baseball catcher and try to sink my butt to the ground. Any idea if this is serious or do i just need some ice. P.S. i am athletic.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It sounds like you just tweaked your knee. Your best bet is "RICE" Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Just sit back on the couch for a while, put some ice on it (not directly on it of course), if you have an ace bandage it would be a good idea to wrap it, and keep it elevated (just enough to keep it above your heart). If this is not helping by tomorrow evening, or if the swelling/pain is getting worse I would advise you seek medical attention.Health Question & Answer
