popped knee 7 years ago got worse how to reduce swelling and pain
hi. it seems that the 7 years old knee injury that you had has not healed completely till date. it may have been a ligament injury and such injuries if not treated adequately at that stage will give lifelong problems. the knee seems to have accumulated fluid now-effusion. it will go away by leg elevation compression bandage analgesics fibrinolytic and anti inflammatory tablets. local gels with hot fomentation will help. even if it heals i suggest you should get an mri of knee done to prevent any further damage. thanks
