Knee issues

2018-09-11 12:17:37
I slipped on a wet deck and landed square on my left butt cheek... now my right knee hurts... sends zingers thru my entire body. My entire left leg aches similar to lymes disease pain. I'm eating ibuprofen like candy.

Kindly don't self medicate and ibubrufen shouldn't be had like that and there should be a minimum of 6-8 hours gap between doses. I would advise you to meet an orthopedician so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as X-Ray, CT(if indicated) to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.

Follow the steps as advised
