[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 428715, member: 1233"] I know it has been more than 24 hrs, but anytime something painful with a joint happens, go with ice for 24 hours and then alternate ice and heat. Leave either one on for fifteen minutes and then off for fifteen. If it is swelling get it up above the level of your heart. This can do a LOT to keep it from swelling as bad. Knees are surprisingly delicate for as much as we depend on them and beat them up. It is better to go and get this checked out now and know if you have something that needs to be treated or repaired than to suffer through it and hope it will get better. If you suffer through there is a decent chance it will come back to haunt you in a few years. I am sorry you are hurting! [/QUOTE]
