Knee Twist
My knee got twisted 2 weeks ago while I went on trekking.
It's difficult to take stairs and also little problems in walking.
I am applying OMNIGEL on my knee.
There is some relief but not complete recovery.
Please provide some guidance.

Twisting injury suggests you might have ACL ligament or meniscus injury. Observe bed rest, knee brace and conservative treatment for 6 weeks. If pain still persists, get an MRI and evaluate any tears. That will help you in planning further treatment.
