Left Leg, Knee Joint Pain
Sir,
Recently I feel down in a wet floor with both my left hand elbow and left leg knee first. I have continuous pain in my knee while climbing steps and bending my leg. But don't find any swelling. Have not taken any xrays or diagnosis so far, except applying a pain balm. Need a proper and immediate diagnosis response, pls.
Regards,
Prabhu

Hello,
Since it was an impact injury, It could be a bone contusion or ligament injury. I can not conclude without a hands on examination. If your pain is severe and persisting more than a week then I would suggest you to meet a therapist or Ortho for a check up.
Next Steps
Icing your knee for 15 mins twice daily will help.
Health Tips
Avoid deep Squatting, Running.
