Ongoing knee pain
I have a really bad knee. Struggling to walk on it at the minute. I’ve been having problems with my knees for sometime now but been bothering me since about November. Today I was training playing basketball and I put all my weight on my knee and I’m struggling to get full motion. Even to straighten it. It blew up straight after it happened but the swelling is not as bad as it usually is. Well I don’t think so. Please can I get a little bit of advice? My knee caps aren’t stable either.
⢠Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
⢠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.
