I was bowling and heard a mild pop in my left knee. It didn t seem to bother me until the next day, so, I iced it and then applied heat. The day after it started to swell. Do you think the pop noise means I tore a cartillage? Now that s it has been 5-6 days later and the swelling is so big, do I still continue to ice & ibuprophin?
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a meniscus tear. I suggest continuing using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using ice compresses to relieve the swelling. Furthermore, I recommend elevation of the leg. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
