I fell at volleyball practice, heard a pop and now have a lot of swelling on the right side of my knee toward the bottom. It is very bruised-but the pain is mild. However, during physical activity it is very swollen. I am 17 years old, 5 6 and weigh 110 pounds.
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to the fall. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend maintaining the knee immobilized to prevent further damage. Furthermore, I suggest doing an X-ray to exclude a fracture. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
