Pain Below the knee cap

2017-03-15 12:50:43
Hi, I recently went hiking. But ever since i returned i have been feeling a slight distress below my knee cap(joint). As there was no swelling and am still able to walk i suspect there is no bone injury. However there is a constant pain in my knee. Hence suspecting injury in the ligameny. Kindly suggest. Awaiting your reply

Hi as per history that you have shared ... It cannot be a ligament injury/tear .. should be spasm of quadriceps or strain over quadriceps tendon.. Try stretching exercises to quadriceps muscle and regular cold compressions over pain area would give relief..
Health Tips
next time when you go to hiking ..do some stretching exercises to prevent these sort of injuries...Al the best
