Left Knee Pain
I fell down 20 days ago, had got little pain on left knee and surrounding it, which later got reduced... After 20 days pain started now
It's mild pain mostly and increases when I put any pressure
The pain reaches from mild to severe
A pain killer just reduces pain for some time and again starts paining
Should I go for a normal knee cap or an knee support with or without hinges
Please help me on the same

⢠Avoid Squatting-
⢠Avoid sitting Cross legged
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
